Tarot Queen Fire, Water of Fire Tarot Queen Fire. The human machine personality type represented by the tarot Queen of Fire takes the impetus of the Knight of Fire and directs his energy into images that objectify desires. She radiates composure in the face of adversity, expressing decorum and exuding her unique identity. She is an Empress or Tzarina through whom inherited authority from previous generations emanates. Beautiful without being flamboyant, she teases traditionality with allusions of originality. While often radiating the delicacy of a rainbow, if opposed, she can express the aggression of a lioness in relentless pursuit of […]
Tarot Prince, Cups, Water, Odysseus Prince Cups, Water Odysseus from the expanded and revised second edition of Tarot of the Morning Star I selected a detail from my painting Odyssey for the Prince of Cups, the wily Odysseus being I feel, an appropriate personality type for the attributes the card signifies. All members of his crew die but Odysseus survives through his gifts of subterfuge, slight of hand and cunning. Achieving his goals by any means necessary. It is worth considering that the individuals represented by his crew might be aspects of his personality which are stripped away through the course […]

The card does not represent man-made law but natural law that is not influenced by greed, fear and the rest of humanity’s comings. Justice is the archetypal voice behind Two, Three and Four of Air.

Hermit Our Inner Guide Tarot Hermit corresponds with Sun in Virgo. The Hermit illustrates we should be guided by the light of life symbolized by the Ancient Egyptian ankh representing his lantern. The Hermits eyes are closed symbolizing introspection, listening to the inner voice. This inner voice, according to Julian Jaynes in his book The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind, was the hallucinated voice of the Gods and or ancestors commonly listened to by our ancient forebears. The jackal headed figure in the background is s synthesis of Wepwawet and Anubis. Wepwawet as “Opener of […]
Tarot Strength Bicameral Theory As an example of a bicameral archetype for this card, Achilles is opportune because of his reactionary fixed automatic responses to phenomena. We should note however that his character expresses wrath and anger but not hate. Is strength taking the fruit, or refusing the fruit? When presented with a phenomena outside of himself, Achilles responds to voices from within himself. He is, to all intense and purposes, a puppet animated and manipulated by the strings of hallucinating voices of ancestors and Gods. These automatic responses are recurrent throughout the Iliad. However, when we examine the Odyssey, with […]
