from: Wisdom of the Page-Court Cards in the Tarot
When trying to understand the meaning of each Tarot cards, it's
a good idea to know the history of some of the symbols used. The
court cards in the Minor Arcana of the Tarot have a long and
notable presence in history and as archetypes. The Page in
particular is interesting because of his connection to a noble
class as well as a working class.
The page, in principle, was a young man attached to a noble
house in service. If he did his tasks with speed and a good
attitude, there was good chance he would be trained as a knight
eventually. In Tarot, the Page can refer to a young man or woman
- gender is not attached to this court card. The Tarot symbolism
of the Page is deep and is connected back to the duality of his
roots.
The page will often be placed in the position of being
confidante to others but normally keeps his or her feelings to
himself. The page will help others to follow their dreams but
will rarely lose sight of their own. Supportive and discreet,
the Page works best when working for others; they are at a point
in their development where while they have their own opinions,
they also need the structure and comfort of a partnered
relationship.
In the Middle Ages, a page was a respected position, often
filled by a young nobleman training to become a squire for a
knight. As a squire, the page would accompany the knight on his
campaigns and carry his armour for him (when not in use). Often,
squiring was the page's entry into the world of courts and
kings. After his apprenticeship in arms was complete, the page
would become a knight himself and teach other pages the art of
battle.
In Tarot, the Page is usually still in a dependant position and
usually is represented by a child, teenager, servant, animal or
an adult who perceives themself as being dependant. One of the
lessons of the Page is to realize that we are all in process of
transforming our lives and rising to a new level of importance
and responsibility.
Part of bearing the outcome of speaking one's mind is having
responsibility for ourselves; the page knew that the menial
tasks of today would lead to a knighthood in the future - if he
learned his lessons well. Apply yourself to what you may
consider to be beneath you today if it leads to something more
tomorrow.
