Above all things, know thyself!

The Princess of the Echoing Hills; The Rose of the Palace of Earth; Princess and Empress of the Gnomes; Throne of the Ace of Disks.

The Thoth Princess of Disks- Court Card is about Mastery of Creativity and Birth of New Forms. She is the pregnant one. As you may have gleaned by now, all these cards represent states of conscious energy that weave a pattern of energy conscious information and/or a "personality" in the material world (the faux you). The Princess of Disks is Earth of Earth; Hence, she's the carrier of the highest- high and the lowest- low forces of the Tree of Life!

The Greeks called this state of consciousness, Persephone, the goddess who enters Hades, every winter and escapes Hades and manifests on Earth every spring. She is the pioneering nature of fertility (represented by the Aries horns on her head) and the serpent transforming into an ermine cape, represents her ancient earthly passion to create, from the Highest High (Kether) to the Lowest Low of Malkuth (High and low are frequencies- not values). She is pregnant with both the highest/lowest in the suit of Disks, and with everything between the Highest-High and Lowest-Low of every tarot suit. She carries within her body the potential of all possibilities of rebirth and the key to perpetuating the life of the Universe. Therefore, she is on the brink of transformation, and as the Princess of Disks, the Earthly part of Earth-The Earth of Malkuth. She also implies that material transformation is possible here. Shown brooding in wonder, she is strong and beautiful while pregnant with the secret wonder of the future.

Her lighted crystal staff shows her desire to give birth to new forms that are in alignment with who she is. The diamond is the sacred stone of Kether, The Highest High and whose tetrahedral form represents the basic structure of all carbon-based life. Her determination to manifest the organic balanced harvest is shown by the pedestal of grains that she is in front of.

The balanced union of female magnetic and male electric forces are represented in the yin/yang center of the Great Seed/Shield composed of 36 sections, which illustrates the creative approaches to Motherhood issues or her issues surrounding her own mother-Demeter.

Winter is at an end, shown on the Thoth Deck Princess of Disks as the ermine cape becomes an implication of snow on the ground, amid winter trees bereft of leaves; trees that will soon sprout green leaves. She is crowned in the horns of a Ram, illustrating the first House of Spring that astrologers call Aries-The Ram.

Therefore, what is presented is a lovely Priestess of Demeter, who wears the crest of the Ram and in her right hand a scepter descending into the Earth where its head becomes a diamond. To Qabalists the Diamond is the Precious Stone of Kether (The Highest and purest Light) and symbolizes the Purest Light formed in Matter-the Lowest of the Low- in the “diamond form of as above-so below". When this card is thrown, for male or female, this card represents the: creative part of the Earth anima within the organic form.

In our Native state of Photonic/Celestial Mind (Solar Self/Soul) we are all Androgyny and/or Hermaphrodites, (also physically as the Right-female side of brain-Aphrodite and Left-male side of the brain-Hermes) and both Sexes represent Polarities of the Energy Mind that can become pregnant with desire (Male-desire to control-creative measurement) and creative ideas (Female- desire to understand and create anew). This creative idea and the desire to manifest it, has been gestating within your nature for some time.

For a woman, this card can represent the need to resolve motherhood issues. For male and female, this card can represent the need to resolve or restructure relationship issues with Aries or Scorpio people in your life as both are ruled by Mars/Aries. (Aries-March 21 -April 21) (Scorpio: October 21-November 21). Due to the very nature of the Princess of Disks "tunnel focus" on creation, this card can warn us of the dangers of becoming so focused on one thing and therefore, not observing in wonder all the life around us, in us, and as us.

Aries and Scorpio Interaction:

• Fire and Water Dynamic: While Aries is fiery and outwardly expressive, Scorpio's water element gives it emotional depth and a more introspective approach. This can lead to either powerful collaboration or intense conflict, depending on how these energies are managed.

As would Freya, (Norse Grove Goddess) she stands in a grove of sacred trees, before an altar suggesting a wheat sheaf which is a symbol for Demeter (her mother). But she is not alone. Contrary to the sexism of divisionism thought, she is never without He and He is never without She, so she holds in her left hand a disk of Seeds which bears the Chinese ideogram denoting the twin spiral force of Goddess/God (Creation), in equilibrium (Yin Yang). Also, the design of the Seed Shield resembles the Rose of Isis (Lotus), the Great Fertile Mother of the Nile delta.

One may see a person with this personality type as Persephone arising from the nether world of winter into the bright light of spring, symbolizing that from the deepest, darkest depths of the subconscious arises the Wisdom of "Womb-Rite", the resurrection and regeneration of the Living. As a personality, she is very "earthy", loves the body, children, and the fertility of life, making her seem less spiritual than others as she lives in the earthly moment. This is a facade created by the word hypnosis of the Archon, earth is a very spiritual place! I know this world to be a spirit world....'cause I am Spirit and here I Am!

However, one who thinks she is "shallow" or less spiritual would be unable to see that stability is based purely on "the colthoid curve of momentary movement " (The word clothoid comes from klothos, the Greek word for spin (wool) the shape of the curve thread that wraps around the spindle) and not a linear line of addition. Thus, she is serpentine in her motion which is also represented by the spiral horns and the swirling ermine cape. The universe is Spirals upon Spirals, dimensions upon dimensions, union upon union and suffers no division.

To enjoy her, you must dance with her in her sacred grove of Life and learn to spin in the celebration of renewal.

This is the Lady of Rebirth and Renewal and to understand the Highest- High and Lowest Depth of the Ultimate Womb---is to meditate long and hard on this card, and to read the Goddess Myths with the eye (I) of the soul. In this world, where love is a profit-sharing endeavor, it is hard for most of us to believe that "Love built Me to be Itself"----Love is Now and fears no future. But the truth is, " Creation is Love made manifest" and we are the image of Love made manifest by the Womb of the Divine Creative who is both Creator and Creatrix. Hence, we are the manifestation of the Creation Gods.

Scry this Princess of Disks card and know it’s great to be you! In your uniqueness you are united with us all on the Highest High and Lowest Low as we are all quantumly entangled as a " Universal Collective Unconscious". The Princesses of any suit are the “womb intelligence” that carries the seed of the element they represent. Thus, the Princesses are the pro-generators of the Aces.

The Ace of Disks is the seed of the most condensed Energy Transformation (organic material) that we call Earth (In this case the Lowest Low means "most condensed"), and Earth is ruled by the Princesses, each in their own section of the Northern quadrant. In Western Hermetic magic, together with the Ace of Disks, she rules the Aries/Taurus/Gemini celestial quadrant above the North Pole and the area of Europe and Africa.

The knowledge of the new Aeon of Horus dispels the archaic concept of Earth as an evil, passive, immobile, even a dead element. Rather, Earth is a transformation of Intelligent-Magnetic-Female Energy Conscious that many moderns call Gaia who is represented in the tarot as the Queen of Disks (Mother Earth) in her younger state of Spring, she is the Princess. Gaia is the womb and nurturing breast of all life on the planet.

Now this idea of Goddess/Creatrix, may all be new to us who view ourselves via the indoctrination of the "Divide and conquer" military industrial complex of the Patriarchy/Archon, where a male Monarchy God is pursued and applies tyrannical rule, but as I tour my Soul I find an old connected-to- earth Personality, of Native American-Ojibway manifestation, who named this Intelligent Force of Earth Grandmother River. These intelligent and ancient peoples, as did the Alchemists, seemed to understand that the “Water and Sun" union transformed soil into living forms, long before our scientist "discovered" this very concept in the study of biology and thermodynamics.

To the those we call Native peoples of Earth, water was often seen as the "Blood of Earth", the topsoil, its flesh, and the grasses as Mother's hair.

The Thoth- Ace of Disks, the Force behind the Princess of Disks, is invariably linked to the Princess of Disks and is a styled rendition of a Molecule, (the union of atoms) show in the background of the Emerald Green of the Aeon of Isis (Grandmother River). This Emerald Green is of the King-Scale color decided upon by the Egyptian Hierophants. However, this green is not the original vegetable green of Isis but that of the “emerald-spring green" of the new Aeon following the resurrection/rebirth of Osiris as Horus. Nor are the disks considered to be the dead chemistry of coins or pentacles; rather they are the whirling emblems of Star, Planets, and atoms etc., all of which are whirling spheres.

There is the new doctrine of Tetragrammaton in the Hermetic Qabalah, where He' --the final earthly component of YHVH, and the daughter (Princess), is set upon the throne of the mother, to awaken the Eld of the All-Father. In the words of Zoroaster, Tetragrammaton (YHVH-The Divine Creative) is a “rebounding, whirling forth, shouting aloud," force of energy. Therefore, the Name of Malkuth is not a dead symbol, but a whirling Sphere of Divine Action, with a stable center, much like a hurricane.

The Court Cards represent the Elemental Powers of the Tetragrammaton, in the 4 Worlds of Qabalah. Therefore, as such, they represent real people when they appear in a divination (layout). However, where this is not the case, they mean an event or situation having a certain personality. They can also represent a decision on our part, or on the part of others. In the case of the Princess of Disks, we have a situation, decision or event that is benevolent, about renewal, pregnant with expectation and new life focus and/or the brink of transformation.

The center of the Thoth Deck Ace of Disks, is a complicate Hieroglyph representing the "the chosen priest- and apostle of infinite space" and/or the "prince-priest the Beast." (Liber AL. I.15.). In the center of all is yet another form of Tetragrammaton, the Phallus, showing Sol and Luna, with the number 666 inscribed, as to equilibrate the seven sevens adding to 156 (Babylon-The Scarlet woman.) Now to detail this explanation is far too complicated for a short blog, hence there is a book that has already delved deeply into the Phenomena that is the Princess of Disks, so I recommend that you get the Book of Thoth and scroll to pages 210-212 for further information and references.

This central cypher is enclosed in a Heptagram that is interlaced with Pentagons whose sides are extended forming a wheel of 10 spokes, bounded by a Decagon encompassed in a circular band with the inscribed name of TO META OHEPION, this is Greek for the "Great Beast" (Organic Mammalian Matter/Ouroboros). This card is research and meditative must for the Student of Gnosis. Also represented here is where the Princess marries the "Prince Beast" which is interpreted as the Organic Material being married by the Creation Gods/Goddesses..

About this whirling Disk are its six wings (6 is the number of the Sun/Soul) The Thoth Deck Ace of Disks is the glyph of Earth as understood in the new Aeon of Horus. Sol and Terra are known as living beings, one's constant companions in the Universe of "I Will Be".

As I have stated, the Princess of disks represents the earthly part of Earth. This Princess is strong and beautiful and impregnated with a secret wonder (Anu DNA combine with Earth Hominoid DNA) as is all Earthly organic matter and the Ace of Disks is the rejuvenation solar force she wields.

Centrally present on the Thoth Ace and the Lost Soul- Page of Pentacles card show the vibrant sun (golden pentacle), the planetary celestial soul with its fiery presence. The Solar disc is symbolic of our own Celestial Self, the Solar/Soul you. This reminds us that we are composed of 8 light bodies (7 layers of auric bodies, and one made manifest that is created of "star dust"), the senses of the physical body may have you fooled to thinking you are a body seeking spiritual light, but that is a false egregore concept of you. The Truth of Self is that you are light seeking "enfleshenment". We began "Above" and worked hard at condensing/coagulating light and/or ourselves through a process of continued and transformative self-awareness to arrive in the below. This is called the "lightning path". Flesh is the greatest intimacy the Divine Creative can have with its self-images. Hence, the physical form is the greatest wealth a Spirit-Mind can have.

Your body does not radiate light, rather you as light radiate a body!

The Lost Soul Page of Pentacles card represents the Page of Pentacles (RWS) and/or the more Esoteric Thoth Princess of Disks. Here the Page is holding a golden pentacle reminiscent of the Sun and celebrating the season of spring; she is beginning a new adventure. Although this card may allude to pregnancy, here is shown mysterious and dark.

Aleister Crowley, in his works, especially within the Thoth Tarot, attributes a certain "darkness" or complexity to the Princesses (or Pages in traditional decks) of the Tarot. This "darkness" isn't necessarily malevolent but speaks to their raw, untamed, and latent energy. Here's a more detailed exploration:

1. Elemental Association:

• Each Princess represents the Earthy part of the element they correspond to—Earth of Fire, Earth of Water, Earth of Air, and Earth of Earth.
• Being tied to Earth, they are the manifestation of the element in its most material, and thus sometimes most limited, form. This materiality can create a sense of "darkness" as the pure energy of the element is constrained, leading to potential imbalance or frustration.

2. Unformed Potential:

• The Princesses are often seen as the immature or undeveloped aspect of their respective suits. They contain the seeds of potential, but this potential is not yet fully realized.
• This unformed potential can manifest as confusion, uncertainty, or even destructiveness if not properly directed.

3. Yin Energy:

• In many esoteric systems, the Princesses are associated with the Yin or receptive, passive, and sometimes darker aspects of energy. This contrasts with the more active, outwardly manifesting energies of the other court cards (Knights, Queens, Kings).
• The darkness here can be seen as the fertile void or the womb-like space where creation begins but is not yet brought to light.

4. Connection to the Qliphoth:

• Crowley, in his writings, sometimes alludes to the idea that the Princesses have a connection to the Qliphoth, the shadow side of the Tree of Life in Kabbalah/Qabalah. The Qliphoth represents the broken or imbalanced aspects of the sephiroth (spheres).
• As such, the Princesses may symbolize energies that, if not carefully balanced or guided, could fall into the Qliphothic realms, leading to shadowy or chaotic manifestations.

5. Role in the Tarot Structure:

• The Princesses are the most volatile of the court cards, representing the threshold between the material world and the other planes of existence. This liminal state can be seen as "dark" because it is not fully one thing or another; it’s a space of potential transformation, but also of potential danger.

Crowley's description of the Princesses as having a certain darkness is deeply tied to their role as carriers of unformed, raw potential and their connection to both the material world and the shadowy aspects of existence. This duality is part of what makes them so powerful and yet so unpredictable.

While offering us the marvel of the fecund and fertile earth and channeling the above vital life force into the below (feet on earth), the energy given to the receiver causes a realization that the sensate physical world is not a source of reality, but rather a group indoctrinated assumption controlled by "rulers". Hence, the aspirant reaches out seeking more through arts and crafts. One realizes that Life is what they are, rather than life is something to be sought from "the few who rule the many".

As shown, there is a very youthful, feminine quality about the seeker, which is not necessarily about age or gender, but more about the joy of spiritual awakening. Here one discovers the self-authority and the creative wonder that they lost during indoctrination and misogynic-dogma brain washing of the Archon sponsored egregore.

I AM, is the name of the All-Self, and one begins the wonderful discovery here of I AM and the Me they create by assumption. The phrase I AM proves existence, and Me proves freedom to choose your very own Identity as Spirit-Mind-Body. You are not written in stone, you are a bright, warm, harmony of light authoring its own story in matter.

The Princess/Page also imply that the aspirant now has a sense of morals and ethics and enjoys good health while also being pregnant with innovative ideas. Today you are a Princess of Earth-Pregnant with new ideas and the courage of Aries, the God of War to go forth and create your dreams! If male, you are the Prince Beast who goes forth and creates the Will of the Goddess to express form on Earth.

If the Princess of Disks/Page of Pentacles card shows up in a reading, it is best said:

• That rebirth is apparent from past defeat.
• Or that a new love is blooming in your life.
• It represents a young woman with rich brown or red- brown hair and dark eyes, she is generous, kind, diligent, benevolent, careful, and endowed with persevering courage.
• She may also be pregnant with a child or birthing ideas, projects, identity, and self-aspects.
•  She or he is on the Brink of Transformation and Revelation.
• She or he may also have a concentrated desire to learn and is applying her/his fertile mind to scholarly pursuits.
• Renewal.
• Growth.
• Motherhood.
• Willingness to take responsibility for something greater than oneself. 
• Embarking on a new adventure.

If ill-defined by the surrounding cards, it implies:

• She or he becomes wasteful and prodigal.
• Hedonism.
• Indolence.
• Sentimentality.
• Feeling out of place. 
• Difficulty in getting across ideas or emotions.
