Thoth-Queen of Disks
The Night Sun Queen of Pentacles
In Western Hermetic Magic, the Tarot Queen of Disks/Pentacles/Coins/Crystals is known as The Queen of the Thrones of Earth, Queen of the Gnomes.
The placement of the Queens is with the 3rd Sephiroth-Mother Binah who is the "Will-to-Form" and is a force of enclosure that is imposed on the Pure Fiery "Will-to-Force" Energy of Chokmah (King) as the 3rd Sephiroth as "Will to form" and/or Understanding. She is therefore known for Understanding the Wisdom of Chokmah; for an idea, once understood, can be molded/enclosed into manifestation as in-form-action. Information becomes in-form-action, so that it can be experienced, thereby, becoming Knowledge.
Thoth-Queen of Disks
DNA-The Tree of Life.
Again, these Sephirotic Beings (Numbered Circles) are not Persons, but States of Conscious Energy, called "Beings" (Immortals) that are the multidimensional aspects that make up the "God Molecule" (Tree of Life/DNA) and the Divine Universal Collective Unconscious and/or The Greater Self, meaning the deep Imagination of the Creatrix, where images are forms of ideas. Images are the only way to realize these deep inner layers of Mind and that "before Mind" (The No-Thing) and this is shown by the Supernal Triangle manifesting self-image in Malkuth.
Tarot is one of the Image languages that has evolved over time as the Alphabet of the Soul, by constant scholarly input allowing one to communicate with the Higher Psyche composed of the Sephirot Beings. Language is added to the cards (for the brain), but it is the image that contains the true message. In Qabalah, it is the Alpha-beth "language of the one as image".
The immortal Being that is known as Mother Binah is the 3rd Sephiroth on the Tree of Life, and the Energy Intelligence of the Queens. She is in the upper Trinity called the Supernal Triangle (Super-conscious) where she is the essence of Cosmic Womb, and I often call this state of Mind a "Womb with a View", because she conceives by Understanding, which means she sees all and by understanding the measurement of Time (Saturn) and the Space of Form she creates image.
She is Maid-Mother-Crone, the Trinity Goddess. We are also trinities, the ternary consciousness is known as Unconscious, Subconscious and Awake Consciousness, and we are also a trinity of Spirit-Mind-Body combination that comprises the Whole of Spirit and/or the Greater Self.
The Great Dark Ocean of Binah & the All-seeing "I".
🜃 Hermetic Qabalistic Understanding
In the Hermetic Tree of Life, the Queen of Disks is a manifestation of Binah (Understanding) in Assiah, the elemental world of Earth. Binah, the Supernal Mother, finds Her echo in this Queen—her role is to bring structure, form, and sustenance to the lower worlds.
She holds the alchemical formula of Salt—the Body and crystallized energy. Her crown is adorned with twisted horns of the Capricorn goat, signifying will, endurance, and spiritual ascent through the densest material.
Her throne sits on a desert turned fertile, as her very presence gives life. Behind her lies a path leading from ruin into regeneration—suggesting alchemical transformation, where Putrefaction becomes the black soil for new gold to rise.
🌍 Mythological and Archetypal Comparisons
1. Gaia (Greek)
The Earth itself. Gaia is the ultimate mother, from whom all gods and mortals descend. Like Gaia, the Queen of Disks is not dramatic—she is enduring. She represents the power to give form to Spirit in time and space.
2. Kunti (Vedic)
Kunti, the matriarch of the Pandavas in the Mahabharata, mirrors the Queen’s blend of wisdom, practicality, and suffering that leads to generational strength. Her ability to survive exile, nurture greatness, and maintain inner power is the Queen in action.
3. Cornucopia / Abundantia (Roman)
She is the Cornucopia—the Horn of Plenty. The disk she gazes into in Crowley’s card is like a crystal sphere or seed, both a womb and a promise of harvest. Her power is not in conquest but in yield.
4. Demeter (Greek) / Ceres (Roman)
As the goddess of agriculture, cycles of growth, and mother of Persephone, Demeter speaks to this Queen’s devotion to the land and the mysteries of the seasons. She knows loss (winter) and joy (spring), and governs both.
5. Isis (Egyptian)
In her aspect as Isis Pharia (Isis of the Fields), she protects and nurtures crops and birth alike. Like the Queen of Disks, she is a guardian of both nature and magical fertility, bringing sacred form to all life.
🜔 Symbolism in the Thoth Card (Designed by Lady Frieda Harris under Crowley’s direction)
Goat head staff: Symbol of Capricorn, initiation through hardship, and the upward climb toward spiritual accomplishment.
Crystal globe/disc: Material reality as a mirror of spirit, or even an embryonic world—this is the "vision of the promised land."
Ram-horned crown: Linked to Aries (initiation, vitality) and Earth’s fecundity. The balance of fire and earth—the pioneering spirit guided by grounded wisdom.
Vegetated desert: The Queen restores fertility to lifeless lands—she is the magician of growth and restoration.
🌾 Psychological & Magical Archetype
The Earth Priestess: She is the magician’s anchor, the Witch Queen of the sacred garden. In magic, she teaches patience, rhythm, stewardship.
Mater Materialis: The mother who gives the soul its temple of flesh. She teaches embodiment and practical magick.
Guardian of the Threshold: The threshold between the spiritual idea (Yod, seed) and the physical world (Heh-final, form as Princess of Disks). She is the silent gatekeeper of Malkuth, who blesses or withholds depending on the integrity of the seeker.
🌌 In a Reading (Mystical Lens)
You are being asked to manifest spiritual values into form—not through force, but through alignment with nature’s rhythms.
She may appear as a guide or familiar spirit, showing how to use the sacred Earth (plants, crystals, bones, and soil) in your magick.
Encourages long-term vision, nurturing of seeds, and wise stewardship of one’s energy and resources.
She often appears during times of recovery when one’s personal desert must be greened.
🜍 Ritual Use
A potent figure for rituals involving:
Grounding and protection
Fertility and prosperity
Healing through natural elements
Earth invocations, plant or crystal magick
Creating sacred space in the material world for spirit to descend
Kunti-Mother of the Pandavas
There are many of the Queens of the heavens in mythology. Queens also represent the Water in each suit. Water being the unconsciousness, intuition, receptiveness, and emotion. They are enthroned in the Element of Consciousness and as emotions make it bring forth the Force of the King by realization and understanding that which develops that force as a consciousness image of an emotionally/energy-in-motion charged idea. However, the King and Queen are as Chokmah and Binah, they are inseparable making the gender of either one, one and the same. 0=2.
Cundi Dharani
The Cundi Dharani (also spelled Zhunti or Jun-Ti Dharani) is a sacred mantra used in Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhism—particularly in Chinese Esoteric and Shingon traditions—to invoke the blessings of Cundi, the Mother of Seven Million Buddhas, and a fierce and compassionate embodiment of wisdom, purification, and swift spiritual attainment.
🌸 Cundi Dharani (in Sanskrit phonetics):
Namo saptānāṃ samyak-saṃbuddha koṭināṃ |
Tadyathā: Oṃ cale cule Cunde svāhā
📜 In Romanized Sanskrit (transliteration):
Namo saptanam samyak-sambuddha kotinam
Tadyatha: Om cale cule Cunde svaha
🌼 Meaning Breakdown:
Phrase | Esoteric Meaning |
---|---|
Namo | I bow, I honor, I invoke |
Saptānāṃ samyak-saṃbuddha koṭināṃ | To the 7 million perfectly awakened Buddhas |
Tadyathā | "Thus it is" – a magical declaration of reality |
Om | The primal sound of universal vibration |
Cale Cule | Invoking the sacred movement and turning of the Dharma Wheel—energetic keys to manifestation |
Cunde | The name of the goddess being invoked—Cundi, the Womb of Enlightenment |
Svaha | "So be it!" or "Let it be offered" – seals the mantra and consecrates the invocation |
🪷 What It Does (Esoteric Function):
This dharani is:
Protective (banishes negativity and harmful karmic patterns)
Purificatory (cleanses obscurations and mental veils)
Empowering (awakens latent Buddha-nature and wisdom)
Magnetizing (attracts spiritual and mundane success through right alignment)
In Buddhist magick, it's considered a complete spiritual technology in a sound formula—compressing entire teachings into a vibrational key.
🜍 Cundi Dharani & the Western Hermetic Parallel
The Cundi Dharani functions much like a divine name formula in Qabalah (such as YHVH, ALHIM, or ABRAHADABRA), acting as:
A microcosmic echo of macrocosmic forces
A seal and summoning of divine intelligences
A gateway mantra through which the magician aligns with transcendent forces
If we mapped her into the Tree of Life, the dharani itself would function as a Key of Binah and Malkuth united—a purification that restores the Tree’s flow from supernal understanding down to the body.
Here's a guided phonetic pronunciation of the Cundi Dharani, broken down into parts to help you recite it clearly and rhythmically—especially if you’re using it in a magical or meditative setting.

The power syllables here are: Om, Cale, Cule, Cunde, Svaha—each a mystical key unlocking a layer of Cundi’s reality.
The Creatrix of the All, has many names and all names belong to us all.
Thoth-Queen of Disks
The Thoth Queen of Disks is traditionally called the Queen of Pentacles, Stones or Coins who is also Queen of the Thrones of Earth in Tarot. She is the Queen of the Gnomes, in Western Magic. Her Astrological attribution is the last Decan of Sagittarius and the first two Decans of Capricorn. The Queen of Disks is Water of Earth, a specific consciousness in the Primal Earth element. In common vernacular she is "Mother Nature". Her zodiacal attribute to Capricorn is shown by the image of the Goat.
The Night Sun Tarot-Queen of Pentacles.
The Night Sun Tarot-Queen of Pentacles is yet another card representing the Creatrix. Here, she sits on a padded throne in the middle of lush and fertile flora growth. The crown of thorns implies the sacrifice of rule, and the crescent moon (her sign) sits upon her shoulders. This card is like the Thoth card in the verdant green of Isis and should be traditionally interpreted as security, trust, and wealth unless surrounded by negative cards, it then denotes opportunism and uncertainty.
She is also holding a golden disk in her hand, linking her to the Western Hermetic Tarot; therefore, what pertains to the Thoth Queen of Disks can also pertain to her. Such as the last Decan of Sagittarius and the first two Decans of Capricorn.
Sagittarius

The Thoth Deck Queen of Disks is displaying her rulership over earth as shown in the crystal cubed scepter that has within it a three-sided Hexagram, making The Pure White Light of Kether, into the many frequencies (colors) of Energy that are intertwined to make the different flora and fauna of the Microcosm.
Her Throne is vegetation as she is the life of such. She is the Highest Aspect of passivity, and this is shown as a winding passive river flowing through and fertilizing waste land. The Great Work is expressed in fertility, where the "Imagination of the Above manifests in the below". She, as Queen, is the facilitator of such manifestation.
The Magnetic/Water Feminine is Life, and the Fiery Male is Energy.
The Disk on her left arm is curved with loops and spheres interlaced, representing the ambition of matter to take part in the Great Work. This ambition is often described as a molecular Law of Attraction (Aries). This is also shown by the Spiral Horns of the Makor on Her helmet/crown, (A Wild Goat native to Central Asia who is also shown standing on the sphere of earth), as Spiral force which is both Spirit and Vital Life Force. The reptilian patterned armor of the Queen represents the regenerative force in nature as serpents shed their skin to regenerate and grow larger.
The Thoth Tarot- Queen of Disks
This Thoth-Queen of Earth can represent a person, in any area of life, but it can just as well mean an experience in the corresponding area in question.
As a personality, she represents a mature woman, the ultimate Matriarch, with much experience with both of her feet on the ground who knows how to protect what is entrusted to her. Here is the embodiment of vitality, creativity, understanding how to set boundaries and assert herself. Hence, patience, sensuality, and trustworthiness are her essential characteristics.

She is queen, priestess, medicine woman, and earth mother.

Sagittarius and Capricorn and Mother Ocean-Binah.
Many think that the Earth as a mother who is an Intelligent-Sentient Being is a fantasy. However, in my past, I spent 5 years of Shamanic drumming work, alone with the wild land, living in a Blackfoot Teepee in the high desert country of Montana and I was able to contact and communicate with the Great Her, who is Earth. I call her "Hairy Mari", for she is wild, free, as the Ocean goddess Mari and most lovely. She greets me as "consort", and shared with me her love, dreams, and future for Homo Sapiens Sapiens (and Anu Sapien Sapiens). I am totally enthralled with this Matriarch of Life. The real Fantasy is ignoring her as an intelligent loving mother and thinking she is a dead rock that can be exploited for the greed of few.
Children that kill or harm their mother, are not mentally or spiritually well.
The Greeks knew this Queen of Earth as Demeter, goddess of the harvest often shown in a field of wheat and later she became the European /American symbol of the cornucopia. Demeter is a significant figure in Greek mythology, and her story is often associated with agriculture, fertility, and the changing seasons.
Demeter is the daughter of Cronus and Rhea, making her one of the Olympian gods and goddesses. She is primarily known as the goddess of agriculture and the harvest. Her Roman counterpart is Ceres. Here are some key aspects of Demeter's mythology:
Abduction of Persephone: One of the most famous myths involving Demeter is the abduction of her daughter, Persephone, by Hades, the god of the underworld. Persephone (Princess of Disks) was picking flowers when Hades emerged from the earth and took her to his realm. Demeter's grief over the loss of her daughter led to the barrenness of the earth, resulting in a long winter.
Search for Persephone: Demeter embarked on a quest to find her daughter. During her search, she disguised herself as an old woman and came to Eleusis, where the royal family welcomed her. She took care of their son, Demophoon, and tried to make him immortal by placing him in the fire at night. However, she was discovered by the queen, who was initially shocked but then grateful for her kindness.
Demeter's Sorrow and the Seasons: During Demeter's mourning for Persephone, the earth remained barren. Zeus eventually intervened and negotiated with Hades to allow Persephone to return to her mother for part of the year, which symbolized spring and summer. However, when Persephone returned to the underworld, Demeter's grief brought about the cold and lifeless seasons of autumn and winter.
Eleusinian Mysteries: Demeter was strongly associated with the Eleusinian Mysteries, a religious cult in ancient Greece that promised initiates spiritual insight and a better afterlife. These mysteries were centered around the myth of Demeter and Persephone and were considered highly secretive and sacred.
Demeter's worship was integral to ancient Greek agriculture, as her blessings were believed to ensure bountiful harvests. She was often depicted holding a sheaf of wheat or barley. The myth of Demeter and Persephone also symbolizes the cyclical nature of life, death, and rebirth, which is reflected in the changing seasons.
Hades abducting Persephone (Princess of Disks).
In summary, Demeter is a vital figure in Greek mythology, associated with agriculture, the seasons, and the deep bond between a mother and her daughter. Her story has had a lasting impact on ancient Greek culture and continues to be a subject of fascination and interpretation in various forms of art and literature.
Our brain is both Persephone and Hades.
The Human brain is a copy of the Divine Creative (Goddess/God) and in our society, Hades-rational thought, has abducted Persephone-Intuition.
We honor Hades and enslave Persephone to his abductions.
