The suit suits in the Minor Arcana are: Wands Cups, Swords, Cups and discs. Each suit is comprised of an Ace (which is the symbol for the essence or theme that the suit is based on) 2, numbers 2 to 10, and court cards (page prince, queen as well as knight.) The deck is different from the traditional decks because the kings have been replaced by princes, and the order (or order or hierarchy) differs slightly. This was intentional as I wanted to make a system feel less patriarchal, with a sense of gender equality and balance. The princes of this deck have the characteristics that they have in common with their counterparts (king) of other decks but are more gentle. This is the exact reason that I decided to portray my pages in female characters.
