Exclamation Liber T: Tarot of the Stars Eternal - Seven of Wands - Valour


You can see the card here: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...ig/wands07.jpg

The seven wands are at the bottom of the card. In the back is a big crocodile holding a whip and a dagger/short sword. He seems to have wings or a cape that covers part of the background. In his note, Scion says it could be Sobek, the Liber Hermetis says in could be Mars in the form of a man crocodile as well.

The world where they seem to be looks very martian to me, like Mars, very dark, reddish, chaotic and fiery, with all those eruptions and lava everywhere. If the crocodile indeed represents Mars it would be quite fitting with this card. The crocodile seems to be in his element here and he is bossy and brutal with his whip and dagger, but then it might be as well the lion aspect of the card because lion is a fixed sign and fixed signs can be quite stubborn and bossy. Mars and Pluton both rule Scorpio and both planets share a lot of similarities, the world seems like a martian hellish underworld.

There are three beings on the card. The first is the blond man dressed in white on the left who seems to have a red face, he is obviously desperate and seems to have given up all hope. He is lost and wanders around without really looking ahead, he must be too scared for that. The two others, or maybe they have the same body but have two heads, one being a bear and another being monkeyish, seem to survive better. They overcame their fears, found food and drinks, which they seem to share, they have a sword to defend themselves now and they are probably looking for a way out of this place. Maybe the bear here represents strength since it was a symbol for warriorship, but at the same time, with bears spending 6 months in hibernation in caverns, maybe the bear represents somewhat Persephone going to the Underworld on this card. Maybe if we associate the strength and courage of the bear and the intelligence and cunning of the monkey, we may get through the hard times represented on this card.
