I hate Court Cards!!

I've been invited to go to Synagogue for Shabbat services tonight. This will be the first time I am attending Shabbat in over 10 years. I wanted to know what I could expect from and take from the experience, so I asked my Gilded.

I pulled the King of Swords, the Page of Swords and the Knight of Swords reversed. I think it means something that I pulled not only all Court Cards, but all Court Cards in the same suit. I think it shows some growth as the Page is youngest and we move through all the males courts to the Wisdom and Social Responsibility of the King.

Swords stand for intellect and thought. All three of these gentleman know their truth. Their own truth. Without the blending of understanding from Cups or passion from Wands and grounding found in Pentacles their may be a tendency to shut myself to the messages being given by the Rabbi because of my own distrust of organized religion.

The first card was His Majesty. Our King sits comfortably on his throne, assured in his own knowledge. The next is the young lad. He is standings as if posing for a portrait of royalty and knowledge, however there is an uncertainty behind the eyes. Our Page is trying to convince everyone, including himself that he has the answers. Finally is our messenger falling off his horse.

Our Knight raises his sword high ready for battle, sure in his certainty. His Golden Sword glows with virtue and righteousness. Reversed our knight is a wild braggadocio.

These cards are telling me to that I need to "forget" my knowledge and approach tonight as the student Page. I need to not look unkindly on tonight's service and turn it to a social event or an opportunity to show my vast knowledge. I just need to be quiet and aware and learn.
