Rusty Neon said:Although Gerd Ziegler's book _Mirror of the Soul_ is an intuitive approach to the Thoth deck and is by no means authoritative on what Crowley and/or Harris had in mind, I thought that, purely for the sake of fun, I'd look up what Ziegler has to say on effigies in the Thoth 9 of Disks.
pages 173 and 174:
"In this painting, Frieda Harris portrayed the three-way relationship between herself, Crowley, and his friend Israel Regardie. The six planet figures bear their three faces."
... "Crowley's face appears on Saturn and Jupiter."
... "Regardie's head appears on Mars and Mercury ...."
... "Harris painted her own face on the Moon and Venus."
I wonder where Ziegler came up with this explanation. Certainly nothing in the Harris exhibit write-up on the 9 of Disks [see my post below] suggests this.
Rusty that is absolutely fascinating. You know, I just had a feeling there was something like this going on! We'll have to contact Mr. Ziegler and ask him where he got this. Wow. This is fun.
