the manara erotic tarot- knave of air ( Fante di aria )
The Erotic Tarot - Knave of Air, is obviously an air element card. However, rather than the traditional androgynous youth, or a princess, the Knave of air is plumber who wields his pipe wrench, rather than a sword and who dances to his own music. Hence, someone who dances to his own tunes. Grease spotted coveralls and all, he is without a care in the world.
The meanings that Milo Manara applied to this Knave are:
- Helper.
- Source of inspiration.
- Attention.
- Grace.
The astrological meaning is that of the beginning of autumn, which could be why the knave is that of a mature male.
Thoth-ace of swords
The Ace of Swords, which is the Sword of the Princess of Swords, represents the Root of the Element of Air which is also representative of the Seed of Consciousness.
When lacking the Will that is Spirit and run by the lesser will of the small ego, consciousness behaves like Air, which blows whichever way of the common current or heated moment. In nature, Air lacks the concentrated will of Fire to unite with water and it lacks a corresponding passion to unite with its twin, earth. Air has no self-generated impulse and is dependent on the heat or cold of the moment. But when set in motion by its Father-Fire and its Mother-Water, it magnifies their power into something horrific, such as tornadoes or hurricanes, or the Princess of Swords. Wind in this state is comparable to Mind as all embracing, all penetrating, all wandering and all consuming.
The Status of Air, as compared to the other Elements of alchemical origin, would seem minor but Air is the first Element to follow Spirit. Spirit produces the Element- Fire that begins with the Logos (Word of God). Air is also attributed to Mercury and most properly, the Breath of Life. Then there is the Hebrew statement," Achath Ruach Elohim Chiim (777)" printed on the Ace of Swords, which means," One is the Spirit (not air) of the Gods of the Living". In this case Air is the medium that carries the Spirit of "the gods of the living" which is called Prana in Sanskrit. Thus, we can see the empowerment of yoga breathing exercises. Oh, and we who are the Souls of the Body, are the Gods of the Living as we make forms alive.
When thrown during a reading, the Ace of Swords is an Invoked force for good or evil. It represents the whirling force and strength through trouble. It can be the Sword of Wrath upholding Divine Authority and therefore, an affirmation of justice in the querent's life.
Thoth-princess of swords
THE PRINCESS OF SWORDS,
Represents the earthly part of Air. She is the fixation of the Volatile. She represents the influence of Heaven on Earth and brings about the materialization of ideas.
There is some suggestion of Valkyrie, in this card but she also represents Artemis and characteristics of Minerva. She represents the anger of the gods, and wears a helm of serpent crest, which symbolizes the serpent-haired Medusa. The heavens and clouds whirl about angrily, while she is stabbing downward with her sword. In the background is a profaned altar, whose fire is gone out due to lack of attention which angers this Valkyrie. With Her Sword of "volatile Mind" she cleaves away the dross, so the pure essence is seen as a materialization of Idea. Much like Michelangelo who was known for his perceptive chisel that cleaved away what was not the image he saw in the marble.
The Princess of Swords and the Valkyrie represent the influence of Heaven on Earth. As stated, there is a representation of the "Anger of the Gods" here, and she is helmed in a Medusa headdress. She stands in front of a barren altar, as if to avenge its profanation (The Human Soul is the altar---the profanation is "indoctrination of culture"), as shown by her sword stabbing downward. All around her angry storms rage in the sky.
The Archetype personality of the Princess of Swords is of a stern and revengeful nature. She is firm, aggressive and wields destructive logic with great practical wisdom and subtlety in material things. Her natural cleverness and adroitness in managing controversial affairs makes her a master of settling controversies. She would be a good ambassador. People thus characterized may seem slow mentally, crushed by every responsibility, especially when it comes to family affairs. We must remember that the Princesses represent the "Throne of Spirit", and that the Princess of Swords has the option of "blowing everything sky high"...she has that potency of mind.
If ill dignified her qualities are dispersed, she becomes incoherent, and all her gifts form into an animal cleverness, a low cunning, that is unworthy of the means.
Such personalities are "Children of Misfortune" which seems to be the most unhappy of people. However, their Soul knows what it is doing, and sharp swords are needed to "cut away the dross" so that the real beauty can be revealed.
Since Princesses are the "throne of Spirit", the Princess of Swords has the option of "throwing everything overboard" and/or "blowing everything sky high." Again, the Character of this personality (those born between Archetype, is stern, and revengeful. Her logic is destructive, as she is both firm and aggressive. She also shows great practical wisdom in material things. Being adroit at controversy, when affairs are controversial in nature, she shows great cleverness and dexterity in the practical management of these affairs. Widespread practice, when choosing your personality archetype, is the young males are the prince of a suit within their birth dates and the young females are of the Princess within the suit of their birth dates. Kings and Queens tend to use as the significator or archetypal card for the mature male and female within their birth dates.
The Court cards personify the attributes of Specific Elements and represent real people when they appear in a divination. In short, the court cards also represent the choices of the individual or mankind. The Trumps represent choices of the "gods"; Although on a more complex level they are our choices to since the gods are the creation of the created. The small cards represent the forces brought into play.
When this card is thrown during a reading,
· It may represent a young woman or young man with brown hair and blue eyes who shows great wisdom.
· Strength, acuteness, subtleness in material things.
· She or he is graceful and has great dexterity.
If ill dignified,
· She or he is both frivolous and cunning.
· Often, she becomes incoherent as all her talents tend to combine forming a species of low cunning. This produces a kind of mental slowness, and her mind becomes the prey of constant anxiety, crushed by every kind of responsibility, especially in family affairs.
· She or he is either a mood fighter or defensive to the point of rash decisions.
