On the card itself is a symbol opposite the Lamed a line that looks like a representation of water but Crowley's book of Thoth shows what looks like a rams head ...which is the typo....?????????????
Yeah, I agree. It is one of the best cards.Lillie said:I love this card.
I think it is the most beautiful card in the whole deck.
This is just a guess.... but maybe all the mix ups involving these two cards in The Book of Thoth are a subtle way of telling us that both attributions are correct. The New Aeon is supposed to be that of the Child. Every child needs a Mother (The Star) and a Father (The Emperor).Lillie said:So, maybe, these two pairs of card still, sort of, partake of each other. Maybe the 'Tzaddi' hidden in the star is there to tell us that even though Tzaddi is not the star there is still some Tazaddiness about her.
Is there a heh encoded into the emperor?
Huh !? When was Justice swapped with Strength on the Tree of Life ? I don't ever recall that happening. The Golden Dawn swapped their position within the sequence of the Tarot but that's all.Lillie said:Talking of the strength/justice switch and the tree of life.
I always thought that Justice was much better suited to her old position on the tree, making a horizontal path between the left and right pillars.
It always seemed to suit the card better. As she is drawn like this, the scales between two pillars.
hee hee. It's alright, I know what you mean. The Golden Dawn placed the cards on the paths in sequence. So their Justice/Strength swap meant that Strength was placed on the Tree before Justice and Crowley didn't swap them around when he reverted to the Marseilles order. Correct ?Lillie said:But I know what I mean, even if no one else does.
