I will run with that one then. The 'girls spirits' seem free floating and 'supplicating' for birth. The 'boy spirits' are doing what Crowley describes ; " What if 2 boys want the orange .... they will fight for it " ( from some Crowley source somewhere ? ).
For some reason I always thought the 'weird-headed one' represented genetic mutation, the possibility of throwing up something new that might better fit new circumstances.
Also, with this male female polarity we can make the basic 'inner psychological' profile;
Male female base line = Mars and Venus, above at the triangular apex is Mercury ( the caduceus or 'Staff of Hermes' .... and if I seek further associations (in my imagination )
the 'Bleaty Buddhas' third eye would be the Sun, the horns the Jupiter / Saturn 'gateway' or 'valve' and the 'tower' going through the 'ring of Saturn' the connection up to the 'transpersonal' world (not shown on this card due to the nature of the card * ).
Maybe we could find a card to put there that continues the pattern ?
Now .... why 4 in each making 8 ?
(I tend to see the 8 circuits of Exo-biology here .... but that was developed WAAAY after Crowley - Harris. )
* It seems a whole dynamic of the lower half of the 'Psychological Tree' , the 'natural forces', the dynamics within the 'personal psyche', the Ego and Id ( still being influenced by the 'Superego / transpersonal realm, although that is not shown - however, I get a feeling, due to the artistic style and design that the card 'continues above itself' into another realm ) and the personna interacting with the outside world and environment .
