Nancy's site, BeMyAstrologer, has been featured on TIM BOUCHER: OCCULT INVESTIGATOR. He liked my article about the kings in the playing card deck. They represent as follows each one of the main sources of Western civilization, with King David symbolizing Judaism (spades), Alexander the Great ancient Greece (clubs), Julius Caesar representing the Roman Empire (diamonds), and Charlemagne the Holy Roman Empire (hearts).

According to OBSCURANT'S BLOG "The king's consorts also have specific identities. The queen of hearts is named as the Jewish matriarch Rachel, the mother of Joseph. The queen of spades is the Pallas Athena, Greek goddess of wisdom. The queen of diamond's name is an obscure one: Argine, an anagram of the Latin word (regina) for queen. Lastly, the queen of spades is Judith, of the Book of Judith. [This from the ROEN Tarot Deck.]"

Obscurant continues, "Kings and queens must have their champions, thus the Jacks are all famous warriors. The jack of hearts is La Hire, also known as Etienne de Vignoles and a comrade-in-arms of Joan d'Arc. The jack of spades is Hector, prince of Troy, the jack of clubs is Judas Maccabeus and the jack of diamonds is Ogier the Dane.
