Been awhile since I wrote a poem. The pipes feel a bit rusty. Sorry in advance if it awkwardly reads that way. Though some of it is intentional... 🤷🏻‍♂️

King of Disks. Minor Arcana work in progress... I’ve decided to change the hierarchical structure of the court cards. The Queens will be the highest rank in the feminine suits (Disks/Cups), and the Kings in the masculine (Swords/Wands). But the correlations will remain the same. And I believe Sagittarius, ruled by Jupiter, and Capricorn, ruled by Saturn, fit within this new structure better to begin with. Finally giving both energetic properties their proper due respect. Rather than court card suits with three males and one female.

Knight of Cups. Minor Arcana work in progress... The Knight/Prince of Cups hold special importance to me because it’s the first card in the Tarot I really connected with. 🍷

The Princess of Disks. Minor Arcana work in progress... It’s taken me awhile to muse on the overall style and concept for the court cards. As each part of the deck will have its own distinct look. 3 = 4.
