The excercise using the Röhrig Tarot
First: Arizonagirl - it's alright that you made a little mistake in your original post... it proves your human.
Using the Röhrig deck I didn't really get the same visual connections that Ms. Pollack shows between The Magician, Strength and The Devil. (For instance the link between the infinity symbol over the heads of Magician and Strength with the pentagram above the Devil's head - these symbols do not appear as a major part of the cards in the Röhrig deck.) However, the 3 paths represented by the 3 lines of 7 cards is evident in this deck (the Conscious, Sub-conscious and Super-conscious). I also noticed a few, I thought, interesting relations across these lines as I studied each of the 3-card verticle groups. These relations appeared to me to picture kind of a "beginning - advancement - completion" step through several phases of experience. (Many of the ideas and words I use are found on the cards themselves.)
Line 1 - Magus - Strength - Devil: These seem to all relate to phases of learning our personal power. The Magus relating to communication, genius, the power of thought. Strength showing the our power over ourselves. The Devil appears to me to relate to our awareness of powers beyond ourselves.
Line 2 - High Priestess - The Hermit - The Tower: These relate to our journey through self awareness. High Priestess as the beginnings of our awareness and learning. Through The Hermit who is finding himself and beginning to lead others. Ending with the Tower which has to do with the complete overthrow of our old ideas and ideals.
Line 3 - Empress - Wheel of Fortune - The Star: Emotional Growth. Empress shows fertility (of thought), creativity. Wheel of Fortune, perhaps again showing the middle of the journey with self realization. The Star having to do with inspiration, self-confidence - crystalization of our ideas.
Line 4 - Emperor - Justice - Moon: This is our movement through life. The Emperor recognizing the boundaries and restrictions of Society. Justice - adjusting to and/or achieving a balance in the world. The Moon - the coming of awareness of our own sub-conscious and the super-conscious.
Line 5 - Heirophant - Hanged Man - Sun: These relate to our spiritual journey. The Heirophant showing the ways, the rituals of organized religion. The Hanged Man representing a release from these structures - new ways of looking at things. The Sun showing us our revelry of our new spirituality.
Line 6 - The Lovers - Death - The Judgement: This is the path of learning love. The Lovers representing physical love. Death showing change, re-birth. Then The Judgement showing an awakening - to spiritual love.
Line 7 - The Chariot - Temperence - The World: These appear to also relate to our spiritual journey. The Chariot having to do with victory - reaching a goal - the end of a race (as indicated by the checkered flag reflected in the charioteer's helmet). Temperence is showing alchemy, transformation - how we will be uniting the opposites of life - nature/spirit for instance. Then The World shows us reaching our full enlightenment.
Well - that's my take on it anyway...
