The Thoth Tarot- The Chariot-key/ATU 7:

The Chariot is representative of the Qabalistic Path of Cheth-meaning fence or enclosure, on the Tree of Life, which is between Binah, (understanding) the third Sephiroth on the Tree of Life and Geburah (severity) the 5th Sephiroth on the Tree of Life. It is the vehicle that encompasses the Soul on its journey into manifestation, shown on the Thoth Tarot Card, by the four Sphinx with different animal faces, each element having four sub-elements (cubed).

The Chariot itself is Kether as Geburah, the Throne of the Soul, which protects the Soul through its journey through dimensions of universal manifestation. The Chariot itself is thus unmoving and stable while the Red Wheels of Geburah power it through the Universal manifestation. Presented here, the Soul is a golden-solar-warrior and/or the "holy guardian angel" who is protected from the Abyss by the Limitless Light of Kether, a vibrational form of energy that the Soul rests on. Kether is Eheieh- meaning "I Will Be" it is that Will to be that is the enclosure that is the Chariot.

It is the Chariot that encloses the Soul and holds it in its "Will to be", even when we have experienced the Dark Night of the Soul, where all that is believed, all that is thought, all that is felt, as Self is stripped away (See the Sumerian Myth of Inanna and Ereshkigal) we still feel that glimmer of faith that there is something ahead: something good will come of this.

In Western Hermetic Mysteries the chariot is known as the Holy Guardian Angel, the keeper and protector of our Soul/Solar Self..

The Thoth Chariot is ruled by the sign of Cancer, a Water sign (the crab on his helmet) and it is the Pure Water (Pure Consciousness) of the Priestess (ATU 2), who rules the Invisible Sephiroth-Daäth, that is the Fence or Enclosure and/or Womb whose symbol is the crescent moon. On the Chariot card this moon/priestess influence is shown as blue oval rings around the chariot. These blue rings protect the Soul in its journey from the Higher to the Lower planes of manifestation. Hence this card shares characteristics with the sign of Cancer.

Cancer, ruled by the Moon, is one of the three water signs in astrology, alongside Scorpio and Pisces. As a cardinal water sign, Cancer represents the beginning of summer and embodies a deep emotional sensitivity and nurturing energy. Here are the key characteristics of Cancer:

1. Emotional Depth

Cancer is known for its deep emotional sensitivity. Those born under this sign tend to feel emotions intensely and can be highly empathetic. They are often deeply in tune with their own feelings as well as those of others, making them compassionate and understanding friends or partners.

2. Nurturing and Protective

Cancer is associated with the archetype of the caregiver or the "mother." People born under this sign often have a strong desire to protect and nurture those they care about. They provide emotional support and are naturally inclined toward taking care of others, whether family, friends, or even strangers.

3. Intuition

The Moon, Cancer’s ruling planet, governs instincts and intuition. Cancers often rely on their "gut feelings" to make decisions, and their intuition can be highly developed. They may pick up on subtle cues and energies that others miss, making them attuned to the unseen or the emotional undercurrents in a situation.

4. Home and Family Oriented

Cancer places high value on home life, family, and a sense of security. They thrive in environments where they feel emotionally safe and tend to create nurturing, warm spaces. Home is not just a place but a sanctuary where they can retreat from the world and recharge.

5. Sensitive and Defensive

While Cancer is nurturing and caring, they can also be extremely sensitive to criticism or perceived rejection. Due to their emotional depth, they may withdraw or become defensive when hurt. This tendency to retreat into their protective "shell" is a key aspect of their personality, reflecting their vulnerability.

6. Sentimental and Attached to the Past

Cancer individuals are often very sentimental and hold deep emotional attachments to memories, objects, or people from the past. They may find comfort in nostalgia and are prone to holding onto things for their emotional value.

7. Moody

Like the Moon’s phases, Cancer’s moods can change quickly. They may experience emotional highs and lows that seem to ebb and flow unpredictably. This can sometimes make them appear withdrawn or unpredictable to others.

8. Creativity and Imagination

Cancers are often very creative and have a strong imagination. They may be drawn to the arts, writing, or any form of expression that allows them to channel their deep emotions into something meaningful. Their creativity is often intertwined with their emotional and intuitive nature.

9. Loyalty

Cancers are known for their loyalty and dedication to those they love. They form strong, long-lasting bonds and are usually very protective of their relationships. Once they let someone into their inner circle, they are fiercely committed.

10. Challenges: Overprotectiveness and Moodiness

While Cancers are caring, they can also be overly protective or possessive of their loved ones, sometimes to the point of smothering. Their mood swings can also be challenging for others to navigate, as they may withdraw without explanation when feeling hurt or overwhelmed.

In summary, Cancer is a sign that embodies emotional depth, intuition, and a nurturing spirit. They are deeply connected to family and home life, and their empathy makes them caring and protective. However, their sensitivity and moodiness can be difficult for others to understand at times.

The Soul/Psyche is the Self of ourselves, it is our individual emanation of the Supreme Spirit Identity from Kether. The Soul being the "Solar Warrior" as shown by the Golden Starred Armor, is led by the Moon. Keeping the Tradition of the ancient Egyptians, who believed that our Sun followed the Moon across the sky. In Metaphysics, which would be the Divine Creatrix leading the Solar Warrior. This association of moon and sun is also implied in the legend of Galahad and his search for the Holy Grail.

The wheels of Geburah (an energy intelligence of Binah the Great Mother) drive the Chariot into Form.

Knowing that Binah is the Mother of Form and is the Feminine Magnetic (womb) force of the Universe and/or Creatrix, we can see that the Chariot is the combination (the Marriage of Kether-Chokmah- Binah that is the Supernal Triangle of the Above) of Photon force and the Spiritual Psyche-Photon form that is Soul. So, with this in mind we may conclude that the flowing forceful nature of The Fiery Creative Father and the Receptive nature of the Watery-Magnetic Mother of all Form, protects our Soul from dispersion back into the Limitless light (Dark Energy Creative) which is the Fiery Darkness, a non-identity to us.

She/Binah, is the Vessel, Womb, Cup or Grail (that is in the hands of the Thoth Golden Knight on the Chariot) both blood red, Blood of Mother-Grail and water blue, Womb of the Red Goddess/ Priestess-Grail, both comprising the engine that moves our now stable soul-self (collective Solar-Self data) through the Universe, allowing us a Psychic-conquest on all planes of energy! Such an engine of Psyche makes each of us the inheriting Golden-Child of The Divine Creative!

The Thoth card symbolizes the vision of Ezekiel, wherein the prophet described the appearance of "four living creatures" and that each had four faces, A man, a lion, an ox, and that of an eagle which are the symbols for the elemental forces of the manifested universe.

What many of us should now understand is that the Very Severity of Binah, the Great Mother, defends us from dissolution into "Nothingness" as we are her most important "Psyches of Form"; we are both Masters of Form and Masterpieces and as far as She is concerned, we are her "Most Beautiful Children". Hence, we are her golden children and have been given her property---The Qabalistic 4 Worlds of Manifestation, as Trusted Keepers!

We are Souls; a collective of personalities of evolving self-awareness created from the Photon Sun of the Milky-way's Galactic Core, who is the Logos that creates and operates Self-Image in the Name of Abracadabra (According to Crowley: Abrahadabra) that is seen woven into the canopy above the Thoth Golden Knight-Soul. Crowley states that Abrahacabra/Abracadabra is-The Vibratory word of the Aeon, The Great Work. Crowley called, Abrahacabra, "one of the most important key numbers of the Liber Al... the word of the Aeon....the cypher of the Great Work which when using Qabalistic Gematria (numerology), (Book 777 of Crowley) Abrahacabra adds up to 418 which equals 4+1+8=13; the Key 13 Death card.

The Holy Grail is the "Wise enclosure of the Abyssal womb", the Will-to-form that creates all Form". The Water and Blood of the Grail is the vessel from which the Psyche drinks, (the Wine/blood of I-magi-nation) giving form to our thoughts......which become the Self-Awareness of I AM ME; me being a free choice of manifestation as "I AM". We are from the collective entanglement of the "Spooky universe".

Albert Einstein’s reference to the “spooky universe” relates to a phenomenon in quantum mechanics known as quantum entanglement. In this context, Einstein referred to it as "spooky action at a distance," highlighting his discomfort and skepticism about the implications of quantum theory, which appeared to violate the classical ideas of locality and causality that he held dear.

What is Quantum Entanglement?

Quantum entanglement occurs when two or more particles become correlated or “entangled” in such a way that their quantum states are linked, no matter how far apart they are. This means that a change in the state of one entangled particle will instantaneously affect the state of the other, even if they are separated by vast distances, possibly light-years apart.

For example, if two entangled particles are created together and one particle’s spin is measured, the other particle's spin will automatically be determined, regardless of the distance between them. This seems to suggest that information about the measurement is traveling faster than the speed of light, which violates the principles of Einstein's theory of relativity.

Why Did Einstein Call It “Spooky”?

Einstein was a strong advocate of realism and determinism, believing that physical systems should have definite properties and states that do not depend on observation. Quantum mechanics, with its probabilistic nature and the seemingly non-local behavior of entangled particles, contradicted these views.

Einstein famously disagreed with the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, which was largely developed by Niels Bohr and Werner Heisenberg. This interpretation suggested that particles exist in a superposition of states until observed, and that quantum mechanics fundamentally involves probabilities, not certainties. The concept of entanglement, where particles appear to affect each other instantaneously across space, struck Einstein as particularly troubling because it seemed to imply faster-than-light communication, something his theory of relativity explicitly forbids.

Einstein, along with physicists Boris Podolsky and Nathan Rosen, co-authored a paper in 1935 (the EPR paradox) that argued quantum mechanics was incomplete. They posited that "hidden variables" might exist to explain quantum phenomena in a way that preserved local realism. However, later experiments, particularly Bell’s Theorem in the 1960s, demonstrated that no hidden variables could fully explain the predictions of quantum mechanics, confirming that quantum entanglement does occur as predicted.

Einstein’s "Spooky Action" and Modern Physics

While Einstein was never fully comfortable with quantum mechanics, especially the idea of entanglement, modern physics has accepted entanglement as a real and observable phenomenon. Experiments have shown that entangled particles do indeed exhibit this "spooky action" across great distances, though the information transmitted cannot be used for faster-than-light communication, thus preserving the principles of relativity.

Today, quantum entanglement plays a crucial role in emerging technologies, including quantum computing and quantum cryptography, as well as in fundamental tests of the nature of reality itself.

In essence, Einstein’s “spooky universe” refers to the strange, non-local, and seemingly counterintuitive behaviors predicted by quantum mechanics, especially entanglement, which challenged classical notions of space, time, and causality.

Western Hermetic Qabalah agrees with quantum mechanics and points out, our Solar Selves are born of the Universe of probabilities that are in a "superposition" state in the Supernal Triangle of Kether-Chokmah-Binah. Therefor we have what we call "freedom of choice", because we are born in the Uncertainty and/or "spooky" Quantum side of the Universe. Here, rather than atomic laws, the Quanta, such as Photons, are under the auspices of what Physicist choose to call the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. Uncertainty gives us the freedom to create our own identity, for the Infinite, having no measurement, is indeed uncertain of what it is, it just knows that it IS, i.e., I AM...!

Now I know all this can be confusing, as there are so many ways to describe these cards, who have been created out of the gathering of so many symbols, over time, as they are incredibly old images of invisible forces that are fascinating but almost incomprehensible to our reasoning brain who demands rules, such as geometry.

That is why we must practice raising the Serpent Force within to awaken the normally unused portion of chromosomes of our brain. The Kundalini can be seen as the "original Will-Word of God" / The Logos of Light, and Abrahacabra, and must flow over and through our brain as the marriage of the Lust of the Great Fiery Creative and the encompassing Waters of the Priestess before we manifest the comprehension of the Greater Self.

Don't fret the brains worded confusion, Understanding will come to the diligent, for no matter the seeming obfuscation of meanings attributed to them, the Tarot Keys represent truly universal archetypes, Forces and Forms that remain immutable despite the limitations of the worded attempts to describe them. You, each, and everyone, are Force/Psyche and Forms of Light comprised of all the seventy-eight images in the Tarot Deck. The Tarot is YOU, not the man-made you, that indoctrinated one who is a reaction to your ruler- slave defined environment, but the Powerful You that is the action that changes environment. You came To Expand and Liberate the survival mind of earth from its animal existence into the Higher Existence of the Immortal Soul/ The golden warrior of Creation.

Enclosing the Psyche the Chariot seems at rest, while actually being Powered by the Great Mothers Work and being the thrown of "Being", totally protected by the Magnetic Field of the Grail, awaiting the time when the Brain can hear ABRAhADABRA (Abracadabra)--the cypher of the Great Work. With the "Ears to Hear" this Cypher we developed a Knowing that manifests our I AM: we can then manifest the Soul as the personality who operates a Power tool--in Mothers Great Garden of Life, rather than an animal looking for its soul, something it will never find. Since the finite are definitions from the infinite and are unable to define the infinite in their time-limited thoughts, seeking the infinite is like a fish looking for water, while swimming around in the ocean. We are souls/solar Photonic self who now own an electron-bio proton body to give sensation to light; we are not a body looking for a soul.

The Chariot tarot card represents the Solar Warrior Soul who defines being---but is not defined by being (such as our Psyche). For those who wish to add more power to ritual, one should understand the Tarot Card correspondences of the Tree of Life.

Correspondences: 7-The Chariot & 2-The Priestess.

The Chariot's astrological sign is Cancer, and the astrological planet of the Priestess is the Moon, the ruler of Cancer. Remember, the Tarot is about polarities; Will to Form (female- magnetic) and Will to Force (male-electric). In this association, the Chariot is the form of -I feel.

The astrological Motion of the Moon ( Priestess) is- I seek myself through what I feel. It also helps us to remember that all the Major Arcana cards have a receptive form (female) and fiery motion (male) and are thus androgyny. In correspondence, the form of one card will often correspond with the motion of another.

There is also an association with Rune-stones (another popular divination). For the Chariot, the Rune correspondence is Ehwaz (or eoh-e), the rune of movement, gradual progress, dwelling places, and horses. This Rune looks like a capital M.

“The mind will trust the body; the body will trust the mind.”

Ehwaz – “eh-was” – Literally: “Horse” – Esoteric: Trust

Rune of harmonious teamwork and trust. Rune of pairs of entities working together for a common goal.

The Rune for the Priestess is Othila , the rune of retreat, separation, inheritance, and the home.

“We inherit ourselves.”

Othala – “Oh-thall-ah” (Oeoel-oe)– Literally: “Homeland” or “Ancestral Lot” – Esoteric: Inheritance, estate, noble

Rune of ancestral spiritual power, divine inheritance, and earthly estate.

Primary colors are, Orange Yellow, with secondary colors of gold, white and silver. The corresponding Chakra is the Spleen Chakra or Navel Chakra (second chakra) which governs emotion, movement, pleasure, polarities, nurture and nurturing, socialization, sexuality, choices, pride, fear of rejection, and provides our life energy and vitality.

The corresponding stones/minerals are gold, silver, platinum. Also amber, pyrite, golden beryl (topaz), citrine, all orange-yellow chalcedony, clear quartz crystal, diamond, moonstone, pearl spinel, white coral, opal, zircon, and gray or white fluorites and chalcedony.

Musical notes: Chariot-D# and the High Priestess is -G#

The Qabalah Hebrew letters are Chariot- Cheth-Meaning -Fence. Cheth is also described as a simple letter-Speech while the High Priestess, in the Qabalistic Text-Sepher Yetzirah it is described as a -Double letter- meaning War-Peace.

The Tree of Life Paths are Chariot- Cheth, the House of Influence. For the Priestess, the path is: Gimel, the Uniting Intelligence. The meaning of the letter Gimel is camel and the meaning for Cheth is -Fence or Enclosure.

The plant essences: The Chariot-Coriander, carrot, labdanum, Roman Camomile and for the:

High Priestess-Camphor, lemon, and jasmine.

The psychic energy (magic abilities) generated by this correspondence is; Clairsentience (clear feeling) which is the ability to feel others' emotions. Since this can be perceived both consciously or sub-consciously, often the clairsentient can become moody and confused without knowing why. By applying all the above correspondences (one stone or mineral) with the Mandala that is the Tarot Cards, meditation/ scrying can be charged to enhance "magic abilities".

Further, The Tarot-Key- 7: THE CHARIOT is:

Motion or change and identity or rest are the first and second secrets of Nature: Motion and Rest. The whole code of her laws may be written on the thumbnail.

-Emerson

The Chariot represents the Universal Principles of change/movement combination of stillness-activity: of movement and repose.

Every individual is touched by multi-dimensional change in their areas of Earth, Air, Water and Fire, as symbolized by the four pillars, the four wheels, and the four animals. These four elemental aspects of ourselves combine to create who we are, mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. The spinning disc in the hands of the Thoth charioteer, also symbolizes the wheel of fortune/The Goddess Fortuna (The blue water womb of birth/nurture Mother and the red-blood womb of Sex/ Death/reincarnation Mother) and means that we as Psyche, born of the Solar Father and the Water Mother, have free-choice and can choose fortunate, positive, and abundant changes for ourselves.

The ten crystals on the golden armor of the Thoth Charioteer represent the ten powerful positive choices of the Ten Sephiroth on the Qabalists' Tree of Life. The crown, which is "the crowning achievement", wisdom, understanding, mercy, severity, beauty, splendor, victory, foundation, and kingdom. These ten states of conscious energy are multidimensional movements and repose that are known as "Our Greater Self".

In the THIRTY TWO PATHS OF WISDOM, Paul Foster Case stated: The Eighteenth Path (The Chariot) is called the House of Influence (by greatness of whose abundance the influx of good things upon created beings is increased) and from the midst of the investigation the arcana and hidden senses are drawn forth, which dwell in its shade and which cling to it, form the cause of all causes.

To reiterate: Between Geburah (Severity) and Binah (Understanding) the Great Mother on the Tree of Life, runs the Path of Cheth. This is the highest and most profound Path on the Pillar of Severity and introduces the Personality to the Supreme Spiritual Self, which wraps our Soul in the Golden Armor of Protection so that the Psyche can be carried through the un-manifested Universe, and/or Dark Matter and Dark Energy. The Chariot is the enclosure that holds the Soul in a state of peace as a harmonious collective, as it moves through all planes. In his BOOK OF TOKENS, Paul Foster Cases stated this about the Chariot:

I am the hedge of protection

Enclosing the field of existence

In this field thou dwellest,

And I am thy defense,

Against the darkness which is without.

                                        Yet is this hedge of safety

Alas a wall of limitation,

And the darkness against which it defendeth thee

Is the radiant Darkness of the Limitless Light.,

Too brilliant for thine eyes.

The Darkness that Dr. Case refers to is that of the Limitless Light of Kether, the very pinnacle of the Supreme Spiritual Self. Pictured in the Chariot, the experience of the Spiritual Self, is known in Alchemy as the "Exhalation", where the Alchemist becomes the Philosopher's Stone, a physiological change within the body.

The Thoth Deck Chariot, shows the influences of both the Hindu Tattvas

and the biblical text of Ezekiel with its "living creatures" being represented as 4 Sphinxes pulling the Chariot. These Four Kerubim (angelic beings) represent not only the four Tarot Elements of Fire, Water, Air and Earth, but also each has four sub-elements, as do the Tattvas, and are represented as the four faces of the creatures.

Geburah, is often symbolized with a Pentagram, or five-pointed star, which has the Four Universal Elements crowned by the Spirit (Space in the 5th Tattva). Thus, making 5 the number of Geburah on the Tree of Life. Geburah is a Red Force and is symbolized on the Thoth card as Red Wheels, meaning that the force of Geburah (Severity) is the motive force of the Chariot.

Geburah is complimented by Chesed (Mercy) on the Tree of Life, and this compliment is seen in the constant usage of the number 4, Chesed's number. We have Four Sphinx, and four columns (Four Universal Elements) holding up the starry canopy or heavens of Binah (The Great Mother- Empress Card key 3). These four Pillars are called the " four columns of the Tree of Life in a Solid Sphere", adding a little more of the arcane to this card. I suggest the curious student gets the book, THE QABALISTIC TAROT by Robert Wang, as it is a fine text for understanding the Arcana of the Qabalistic Tarot.

Crowley understood that something martial is going on in the Psyche of the Seeker themselves. Much like the Bhagavad Gita, or the Babylonian Epic of Creation, where warring factions symbolize the pursuit of enlivenment.

On this highest Path of Severity, the Soul Warrior of Geburah has reached a pinnacle, as shown by the Tens stars on his golden chest that represent Assiah or Matter. Seated in meditation, with the Holy Grail in his hands: the Cup (Womb) that we look directly into.

The movement of the Chariot conceals a mystery (arcana) of great significance. The Chariot is reminiscent of the Greek Chariot of the Sun, Helios, as the four horses of the Sun pulled the Chariot of the Sun across the sky. This is significant as a representation, since the Chariot moves between the Light, centered in Tiphareth (Beauty) and the Supreme Darkness of the Limitless Light at the hidden side of Kether (Crown), as depicted in the White and Dark horses that pull the Night Sun Tarot's Chariot.

Yet, there is even a more complex meaning suggested here, as the Moon guides the Sun! And in Egyptian mythology, Greek Mythology and the Qabalistic Tree of Life, the sun is subordinate to the moon. Since the Chariot is of the sign of Cancer, that is ruled by the Moon (and in which Jupiter is exalted), the Charioteer follows this philosophy of subordination to the Great Mother nicely. The cardinal Path of the Moon leads from Tiphareth (Beauty-Solar Logos) to Kether (Crown) is the Path of the Priestess. Water (Pure Consciousness) takes precedence here and is represented by the Moon.

The Chariot is a Higher Path card, and requires much scrying, meditation, and arcane study, so this author recommends that you devote more time to this card than a brief blog. At least, get the books I have recommended in this blog and read them liberally! What is also noted here, is that the Male-Female relationship, is represented backwards here in our reflected world. The Male -"Will to Force" of the Universe is Subservient to the Female-"Will to Form" for electric Force to become electro-magnetic Form; Idea is subservient to Understanding, for Life to progress.

Yet in more examination: In the Thoth Tarot- Key 7-The Chariot, the Cancer Crab stands on the Knights Helm, referring to the zodiacal sign of Cancer, into which the Sun moves at the summer solstice. Cancer is the cardinal sign of Water, shown as blue above and below the charioteer. Hence, Cancer not only represents the first onrush of the Tarot element water, but it also represents the Path Cheth (meaning fence or enclosure) that leads from the Great Mother Binah (understanding) to Geburah (Severity), on the Qabalistic Tree of Life that encloses this Water. Therefore, the Chariot represents the Enclosure of Water and fire (which is blood) in which the energy of the Supernal (The Trinity) descends on the energy of mankind as Prana and inspires the "spirit within". This card supports the old axiom," ...The Know is in the Flow" and helps us realize the value of Prana Yama (Yoga breath) breathing and the flow of the Life-Fire within and/or Kundalini.

In summation:

The canopy of the Charioteer, on the Thoth card, is sky blue, both the color of water and of the color of the Great Gnostic Sophia (blue rose or lotus symbol) and/or Binah, in her Wisdom state of energy conscious. The Canopy on the Spell Caster's Tarot is the Macrocosm.

The four Sphinxes that are drawing the Thoth Chariot, have the heads of the Four Kerubs, The Bull, The Lion, The Eagle, and The Man. They represent sixteen sub-elements rather than just four, since in each Sphinx these elements are counter-changed.

The amber-gold armor or the bright blazing golden light of the Charioteer also represents the sign of Cancer. The reins are not in the Charioteer's hands because he is enthroned in the Chariot rather than conducting it as the whole system is in perfect balanced and his only function is to bear the Holy Grail and/or the instruments of the All Mother, as shown on the Thoth Tarot as Spinning Chakras and/or Grails. The Thoth Grail looks like a Blue and Red Chakra in the Charioteer's hands, as both colors represent the One Womb of the Blue Binah and the Red Geburah.

The design of the Ten Stars of Assiah sits upon the Thoth Charioteer's chest as an inheritance of the celestial dew of the mother.

Cancer may be known as the House of the Moon, but Jupiter is also exalted in Cancer. This concept is illustrated on the Thoth Tarot Card, as the color of Amethyst that rings the Grail. The Shape of the Grail represents the Full Moon and the Great Sea of Binah. Spiritual life is inferred by the radiant blood -red in the center of the Grail: light in the darkness of the Womb.

Again, studying the individual symbols will lead to a greater understanding of the whole. The Charioteer looks the masculine part he is, but this card is of the Goddess as Binah and Geburah which are both receptive (female) and expressive (male). One will find that in the Gnostic Qabalah, both sexes are inseparable, where there is She, there is He and vice versa. The Chariot is the mystical Merkabah, the Chariot that carries the Throne of God in the visions of Ezekiel. The Throne is stable and unmoving, while the Chariot descends on the revolving "fiery" wheels of Geburah.

Arcana means secret and/or mystery and the Major Arcana (Key Cards) are deeply embedded in mysterious secrets buried in the imagery of time long past while being relevant today, requiring much study. " To know thyself, is to know God"; describes the mystery of the Qabalah.

One way to "know thyself" is as the Divine Chariot of your fiery Soul.

When ATU 7- The Chariot card is thrown during a Tarot divination, the querent is or will be soon experiencing:

• Health, success, triumph, and victory. All of which shall be a combination of stillness and activity.
• There is a principle of self-mastery through change and movement towards a goal.
• In other words, winning one's own way.
• Self confidence that propels one to victory. 
• In the next 7 weeks or 7 months, the querent will be making changes in their job, or home or travel.

When this card is thrown during a reading, the querent is reminded:

• To devote themselves to the combination of activity and quietude so that they may have the drive to attain goals.
• It is a time of clearing out the past, moving beyond and beginning with new energy while taking responsibility for one's present condition.
• There is a need for victory here, by combining the images or content of the unconscious with the consciousness for the purpose of achievement.
• The Chariot also signifies that the querent has begun controlling a situation by the force of their personality....a focus of Will.
• The goal will need fighting for, but you have been granted the energy to win it!

If the accompanying cards are ill defined, then none of the fore-mentioned qualities will be stable and all will be short lived.
