The Sword of My Mouth

[Yygdrasilian]

Perhaps you've heard of this diabolical secret hidden in plain sight, but just in case it's escaped your attention...

Earth & Venus line up with the Sun 5 times for every 8 of our years – a span of time equal to 13 rotations around the Sun if you lived on Venus. Each one of these conjunctions occur 216º apart upon the ecliptic – the plane through which all the planets of our solar system orbit.

Connect them by sequence and they form a pentagram ☆
Now Venus, you may recall, beside being a planet, was the latin name for the goddess of Love.
And, as the “Morning Star”, she was also known by another latin name: Lucifer, the “Light-Bringer” who heralds the Dawn.
216, being the cube of Six = 6x6x6

So, all dark age superstitions aside, I hope you can appreciate how Love is, in “fact”, The Devil

In any case, an argument for the occultists' claim that Tarot is a cipher for the Hebrew alphabet rests with its' numerology in tune with this cycle of planetary alignments:

Very cool!

I'd noticed how the RWS seemed to mirror each other, as well as the numerology used to find "shadows" of the majors:

6, the Lovers; 15, the Devil-- the digits of 15 when added together, 1+5=6

They also appear to mirror one another, in that if Love is the card of choice, then the Devil appears to be the card of addictions (unobservable from the outside, but often really is-- no choice.)

The astronomical calculations bring this to a whole new level, thanks for posting!

]()[ "Apocalypse" comes from ancient Greek - a word that meant "unveiling" - as in the opening of One's EYES. Hence, a "revelation".
The trick, it seems, is in approaching the cipher as an allegorical tool which predates the Tarot – but for which the Tarot has been either utilized or invented to make more explicit.

There are some truths which, once seen, cannot be unseen.

Puzzling over this riddle concerning the origins of our alphabet, I've come to appreciate how many of our world religions' sacred texts are really just compendiums of clever puns, and that the Apocalypse of John is more of a Gnostic initiation manual than a prophecy of doom.

“The Devil", by whatever name you choose to call it, is an adversary born from our own sense of duality & opposition - a trickster whose greatest trick is fooling ourselves into believing such a thing could ever "exist".
