This card shows mastery of skills and the ability to turn ideas into reality.The Magus, Magician, or juggler, the caster of the dice and mountebank, in the world of vulgar trickery. This is the colportage interpretation, and it has the same correspondence with the real symbolical meaning that the use of the Tarot in fortune-telling has with its mystic construction according to the secret science of symbolism. I should add that many independent students of the subject, following their own lights, have produced individual sequences of meaning in respect of the Trumps Major, and their lights are sometimes suggestive, but they are not the true lights.Communication; Conscious Will; the process of continuous creation; ambiguity; deceptionl Things may not be as they appear. Concentration, meditation; mind used to direct the Will. Manipulation; crafty maneuverings.Focus your energy and intention on what you want to manifest. You have the tools and talents you need.<2E>,<01>=<3D>1<EFBFBD>5<EFBFBD>Co+The Fool represents new beginnings, innocence, and spontaneity. This card signifies a fresh start or embarking on a new journey with optimism and faith.The Fool, Mate, or Unwise Man. Court de Gebelin places it at the head of the whole series as the zero or negative which is presupposed by numeration, and as this is a simpler so also it is a better arrangement. It has been abandoned because in later times the cards have been attributed to the letters of the Hebrew alphabet, and there has been apparently some difficulty about allocating the zero symbol satisfactorily in a sequence of letters all of which signify numbers. In the present reference of the card to the letter Shin, which corresponds to 200, the difficulty or the unreason remains. The truth is that the real arrangement of the cards has never transpired. The Fool carries a wallet; he is looking over his shoulder and does not know that he is on the brink of a precipice; but a dog or other animal--some call it a tiger--is attacking him from behind, and he is hurried to his destruction unawares.Beginning of the Great Work, innocence; a fool for love; divine madness. Reason is transcended. Take the leap. Gain or loss through foolish actions.Trust in the unfolding of your path. Embrace new opportunities with awareness and openness. N
<01>I<EFBFBD>_<EFBFBD><EFBFBD>eIX4The Hermit represents introspection, spiritual seeking, and inner guidance. This card embodies solitude, wisdom gained through reflection, and self-discovery.The Hermit, as he is termed in common parlance, stands next on the list; he is also the Capuchin, and in more philosophical language the Sage. He is said to be in search of that Truth which is located far off in the sequence, and of justice which has preceded him on the way. But this is a card of attainment, as we shall see later, rather than a card of quest.Divine seed of all things. By silence comes inspiration and wisdom. Wandering alone; temporary solitude; creative contemplation; a virgin. Retirement from involvement in current events.Take time for introspection and self-discovery. Your inner light guides your path. Seek solitude for wisdom.<2E>O <01>9<EFBFBD><17><EFBFBD>WVIII3Strength represents inner power, courage, and compassion. It shows mastery through gentleness and the ability to face challenges with calm confidence.Fortitude. This is one of the cardinal virtues, of which I shall speak later. The female figure is usually represented as closing the mouth of a lion. In the earlier form which is printed by Court de Gebelin, she is obviously opening it. The first alternative is better symbolically, but either is an instance of strength in its conventional understanding, and conveys the idea of mastery.Equilibrium; karmic law; the dance of life; all possibilities. The woman satisfied. Balance; weigh each thought against its opposite. Lawsuits; treaties. Pause and look before you leap.True strength comes from within. Face challenges with courage and compassion for yourself and others.<2E>@<01>5<EFBFBD>u<EFBFBD> <09>WVII2The Chariot embodies willpower, determination, and control through focused intention. It represents triumph through discipline and forward momentum.The Chariot. This is represented in some extant codices as being drawn by two sphinxes, and the device is in consonance with the symbolism, but it must not be supposed that such was its original form; the variation was invented to support a particular historical hypothesis. In the eighteenth century white horses were yoked to the car. As regards its usual name, the lesser stands for the greater; it is really the King in his triumph.Light in the darkness. The burden you carry may be the Holy Grail. Faithfulness; hope; obedience; a protective relationship; firm, even violent adherance to dogma or tradition. Glory; riches; englightened civilization; victory; triumph; chain of command.Take the reins of your life. Move forward with determination and clear direction. You have the power. <01> <0C>
Pfj<01><00>E<01>G<EFBFBD>#<23>s<EFBFBD>9XV:The Devil represents bondage, materialism, and shadow aspects of self. It embodies addictions, illusions, and the consequences of giving away personal power.The Devil. In the eighteenth century this card seems to have been rather a symbol of merely animal impudicity. Except for a fantastic head-dress, the chief figure is entirely naked; it has bat-like wings, and the hands and feet are represented by the claws of a bird.Thou hast no right but to do thy will. Obession; temptation; ecstasy found in every phenomenon; creative action, yet sublimely careless of result; unscrupulous ambition; strength.Examine what binds you. Acknowledge your shadow. You hold the key to your own freedom.<2E>y<01>-<2D>9<EFBFBD>A<EFBFBD>UXIV9Temperance represents balance, moderation, and harmony. It embodies blending of opposites, inner peace through balance, and finding your rhythm.Temperance. The winged figure of a female--who, in opposition to all doctrine concerning the hierarchy of angels, is usually allocated to this order of ministering spirits--is pouring liquid from one pitcher to another. In his last work on the Tarot, Dr. Papus abandons the traditional form and depicts a woman wearing an Egyptian head-dress.Transmutation through union of opposites. A perfect marriage exalts and transforms each partner. The scientific method. Success follows complex maneuvers.Seek balance in all things. Blend opposing forces. Find your rhythm through moderation and patience.<2E>g<01>;<3B> <0B>1<EFBFBD>_XIII8Death represents transformation, endings, and new beginnings. This card embodies major life transitions, the release of the old, and inevitable change.Death. The method of presentation is almost invariable, and embodies a bourgeois form of symbolism. The scene is the field of life, and amidst ordinary rank vegetation there are living arms and heads protruding from the ground. One of the heads is crowned, and a skeleton with a great scythe is in the act of mowing it.End of cycle; transformation; raw sexuality. Sex is death. Stress becomes intolerable. Any change is welcome. Time; age; unexpected change; death.Release what no longer serves you. Transformation is inevitable. Trust in the cycle of death and rebirth.<2E>, <01>K<EFBFBD>{<7B>c<EFBFBD>9XII7The Hanged Man represents suspension, letting go, and seeing things from a new perspective. It embodies surrender, pause, and gaining wisdom through sacrifice.The Hanged Man. This is the symbol which is supposed to represent Prudence, and Éliphas Lévi says, in his most shallow and plausible manner, that it is the adept bound by his engagements. The figure of a man is suspended head-downwards from a gibbet, to which he is attached by a rope about one of his ankles.Redemption, sacrifice, annihilation in the beloved; martyrdom; loss; torment; suspension; death; suffering.Pause and reflect. What are you holding onto? Surrender control and trust the process.<2E>~ <01>3<EFBFBD>+<2B>g<EFBFBD>CXI6Justice represents fairness, truth, and balance. It embodies accountability, clear judgment, and the consequences of actions both past and present.Justice. That the Tarot, though it is of all reasonable antiquity, is not of time immemorial, is shewn by this card, which could have been presented in a much more archaic manner. Those, however, who have gifts of discernment in matters of this kind will not need to be told that age is in no sense of the essence of the consideration.Understanding; the Will of New Aeon; passion; sense smitten with ecstasy. let love devour all. Energy independent of reason. Strength; courage; utilization of magical power.Seek the truth and act with fairness. Take responsibility for your actions. Balance is key. ` #
v<07>`<00>3<01><1B>c<EFBFBD>%<25>OXX?Judgement represents awakening, calling, and significant decisions. It embodies reckoning, rebirth, and responding to a higher calling.The Last judgment. I have spoken of this symbol already, the form of which is essentially invariable, even in the Etteilla set. An angel sounds his trumpet per sepulchra regionum, and the dead arise. It matters little that Etteilla omits the angel, or that Dr. Papus substitutes a ridiculous figure.Let every act be an act of Worship; let every act be an act of Love. Final decision; judgement. Learn from the past. Prepare for the future.Answer your higher calling. Evaluate with compassion. A significant awakening or decision awaits.<2E>{<01><13>u<EFBFBD>?<3F>9XIX>The Sun represents joy, clarity, and vitality. It embodies success, positive energy, and the radiance of authentic self-expression.The Sun. The luminary is distinguished in older cards by chief rays that are waved and salient alternately and by secondary salient rays. It appears to shed its influence on earth not only by light and heat, but--like the moon--by drops of dew.Lord of the New Aeon. Spiritual emancipation. Pleasure; shamelessness; vanity; frankness. Freedom brings sanity. Glory; riches; enlightened civilization.Celebrate your success. Let your authentic self shine. Joy and clarity light your way.<2E>_<01>3<EFBFBD>W<EFBFBD>_<EFBFBD>[XVIII=The Moon represents illusion, intuition, and the subconscious mind. It embodies mystery, dreams, and navigating by inner knowing rather than sight.The Moon. Some eighteenth-century cards shew the luminary on its waning side; in the debased edition of Etteilla, it is the moon at night in her plenitude, set in a heaven of stars; of recent years the moon is shewn on the side of her increase. In nearly all presentations she is shining brightly and shedding the moisture of fertilizing dew in great drops.The Dark night of the soul; deception; falsehood; illusion; madness; the threshold of significant change.Trust your intuition to navigate mystery. What appears illusory contains deeper truths worth exploring.<2E>*<01>5<EFBFBD>K<EFBFBD><17>EXVII<The Star represents hope, guidance, and inspiration. It embodies clarity of purpose, spiritual insight, and the light that guides your path forward.The Star, Dog-Star, or Sirius, also called fantastically the Star of the Magi. Grouped about it are seven minor luminaries, and beneath it is a naked female figure, with her left knee upon the earth and her right foot upon the water. She is in the act of pouring fluids from two vessels.Clairvoyance; visions; drams; hope; love; yearning; realization of inexhaustible possibilities; dreaminess; unexpected help; renewal.Let your inner light shine. Trust in your vision. Hope and guidance light your path forward.<2E>Z<01>A<EFBFBD>!<21><03>YXVI;The Tower represents sudden disruption, revelation, and breakthrough through crisis. It embodies sudden change, truth revealed, and necessary destruction.The Tower struck by Lightning. Its alternative titles are: Castle of Plutus, God's House and the Tower of Babel. In the last case, the figures falling therefrom are held to be Nimrod and his minister. It is assuredly a card of confusion, and the design corresponds, broadly speaking, to any of the designations except Maison Dieu.Escape from the prison of organized life; renunciation of love; quarreling. Plans are destroyed. War; danger; sudden death.Crisis brings clarity. Though change is sudden and jarring, it clears away the false and brings truth. z <0C>

Divinatory Meanings: Conformity and the equipoise which it suggests, courage, friendship, concord in a state of arms; another reading gives tenderness, affection, intimacy. The suggestion of harmony and other favourable readings must be considered in a qualified manner, as Swords generally are not symbolical of beneficent forces in human affairs. Reversed: Imposture, falsehood, duplicity, disloyalty.<2E>N'<01>?<3F>=Ace of SwordsA hand issues from a cloud, grasping as word, the point of which is encircled by a crown.A hand issues from a cloud, grasping as word, the point of which is encircled by a crown. Divinatory Meanings: Triumph, the excessive degree in everything, conquest, triumph of force. It is a card of great force, in love as well as in hatred. The crown may carry a much higher significance than comes usually within the sphere of fortune-telling. Reversed: The same, but the results are disastrous; another account says--conception, childbirth, augmentation, multiplicity.<2E><01><1D>=<3D>c<EFBFBD>MXXI@The World represents completion, wholeness, and fulfillment.

The four living creatures of the Apocalypse and Ezekiel's vision, attributed to the evangelists in Christian symbolism, are grouped about an elliptic garland, as if it were a chain of flowers intended to symbolize all sensible things; within this garland there is the figure of a woman, whom the wind has girt about the loins with a light scarf, and this is all her vesture.Completion of the Greatk Work; patience; perseverance; stubbornness; serious meditation.

In the design he is really a prototypical hero of romantic chivalry. He might almost be Galahad, whose sword is swift and sure because he is clean of heart. Divinatory Meanings: Skill, bravery, capacity, defence, address, enmity, wrath, war, destruction, opposition, resistance, ruin. There is therefore a sense in which the card signifies death, but it carries this meaning only in its proximity to other cards of fatality.

Divinatory Meanings: The card speaks for itself on the surface, but other readings are entirely antithetical--giving joy, mildness, timidity, honour, modesty. In practice, it is usually found that the card shews the decline of a matter, or that a matter which has been thought to be important is really of slight consequence--either for good or evil. Reversed: Great joy, happiness, feasting.<2E>Y+'<01>G<EFBFBD>KSeven of CupsStrange chalices of vision, but the images are more especially those of the fantastic spirit.Strange chalices of vision, but the images are more especially those of the fantastic spirit.

Divinatory Meanings: A card of the past and of memories, looking back, as--for example--on childhood; happiness, enjoyment, but coming rather from the past; things that have vanished. Another reading reverses this, giving new relations, new knowledge, new environment, and then the children are disporting in an unfamiliar precinct. Reversed: The future, renewal, that which will come to pass presently.
