👑Court Cards in the Wild👑
The Prince of Cups in his natural habitat, air mixing with water! The Knight of the RWS, this is a figure of romance and adventure, yet also subtlety, passion, artistry and craft. They mask secret quests and designs beneath a placid surface with deep, deep depths. Don’t be fooled! If this one gets caught up in the currents of emotion, well, let’s just say the steam will have to be vented!
👁️BOOK OF THOTH👁️
“The moral characteristics of the person pictured in this card are subtlety, secret violence, and craft. He is intensely secret, an artist in all his ways. On the surface he appears calm and imperturble, but this is a mask of the most intense passion. He is on the surface sus ceptible to external influences, but he accepts them only to transmute them to the advantage of his secret designs. He is thus completely without conscience in the ordinary sense of the word, and is therefore usually distrusted by his neighbours. They feel they do not, and can never, understand him. Thus he inspires unreasonable fear. He is in fact perfectly ruthless. He cares intensely for power, wisdom, and his own aims. He feels no responsibility to others, and although his abilities are so immense, he cannot be relied upon to work in harness.
In the Yi King, the airy part of Water is represented by the 61st hexagram, Kung Fû. This is one of the most important figures in the Yi: it “moves even pigs and fish, and leads to great good fortune’’. Its dignities and correspondences are manifold and great; for it is also a “big Li”, the trigram of Sol formed by doubling the lines. By shape it suggests a boat, but also the geomantic figure of Carcer, Saturn in Capricornus.
This card is in consequence one of great power; Libra going over into Scorpio is of tremendous, active, critical energy and weight. To such people good will, sincerity, and right mating are the essentials of success; their danger is overweening ambition.”
