That's pretty cool Emily.
Hmmm...it doesn't seem that deep to me, but rather makes some sense in regards to how I interpret this card in readings.
On the other hand...
I am right there with you, FourLeafClover!
Not my favorite Chariot.
So, I decided to look up in Waite's very own Pictoral Guide...to see if he could shed any light on the symbolism...and well....
well...uh...as usual, this book seems to me to be Waite's attempt to NOT tell anybody about the secret symbolism herein. After 18 years of studying the Golden Dawn, and it's members...A.E. Waite is still a conundrum to me.
And I was about to go on a, decidedly controversial, rant here but I have decided to save it for another time, and another place!
But I do encourage people to check out Waite's own musings about his deck.
There is nothing in the book to explain those symbols at all.
There are however some things about Sphinxes, and the mysteries of Nature, and his good "friend" Levi...and blah blah blah.
