The Aces and Courts teach tarot’s relational grammar. The Aces are seeds of connection—elemental sparks that become the tools of each suit. The Courts embody these forces as roles, masks, and personalities, showing us how elemental energies take shape in our relationships with self, other, land, or event. To learn the courts, one must navigate the dialogue between seed and expression, spark and mask, inner impulse and outer relation.
