My notes on headgear in the Tarot Pack, started without any idea of what their conclusion might be, have become too difficult for the pages and diagram on which I was working.* But it does seem fairly likely that two different systems operate, one in the Greater Tarots [sic] (T0 – [T]XXI), and another for the Court Cards (K,Q,Kt,Ke x S, C, Cps, M): although surely these two must be interlinked? In the Greater Tarots, or Named Cards,

the Angels** and those without headgear [o] seem to be those in a fairly late or advanced stage of development;

The Crown*** [w] seems to have a first-half-and-lower Outer Circle emphasis;

The floppy hat**** oo appears only at the bottom[;]

and helmets# or other headgear [h] are only on upper cards.

(Some of these cards have combination headgear, e.g. crown and helmet.)
