The Tarot of Eli:The Erotic Tarot- Knight of Fire & The Thoth Tarot- Prince of Wands

#tarotthothqabalahelitarotstrickingly.com

The Erotic Tarot shows us a young woman ambitiously riding her Charger rapidly over the landscape. The scarf flying in the wind, is the color of fire, the element of this card. Her yellow hair is the color of the air element. Hence this card represents "Air of Fire".

Milo Manara has given this card the meanings of:

• Traveler. 
• Departure.
• Absence.
• Distance. 
• Adventure.

• Joviality.
• Generosity. 
• Optimism.
• Ambition.

The Princess are the Son of the Queen and King; thus, they are governed by Tiphareth, The Son/Sun of The Divine Creative.

The Thoth Princes are wholly activated by the Queen and King, adding to their complexity as they have no motive power of their own. They are a force, but a stable one, as they are being pulled along in their chariots.

The Figures of the Arch Fairies (Elementals) are the Lion, Eagle, Man and Bull. These are the Four Kerubim of Qabalah. They are very ancient symbols for the elements of multiple religious belief systems. Not only appearing as Gods of the Assyrians, the Four Animals in the Old Testament vision of Ezekiel, they also are the four symbols of the Christian Evangelists

In the vastness of Kether, the Primordial Elements radiate into Tiphareth, becoming the united rulers of the elements that are individually expressed in Tiphareth. Anthropomorphically personified, The Princes are the balance of the Four Elements in Tiphareth. Being the most refined aspects of the Solar- Personality, the Four Princes are the Elemental Kings in ourselves: our souls.

It should be no surprise then that the princes can be taken in any direction by Divine Will. Therefore, the forces of the Prince of Wands may be applied with Justice or cruelty.

•  The unconscious flowing motion of the Prince of Cups may be subtle and artistic; or it may be evil. 
• The rational mental activities of the Prince of Swords, may produce ideas that are either creative or destructive 
•  The material qualities of the Prince of Disks may cause growth for good or evil. The Grounding Element for the Prince's lessons are the Princesses, who rule the earth from the Northern quadrants.

Therefore, when thrown during Divination, the Princes often represent the coming and going of an event or person and the Princesses often represent the approval or disapproval of a matter.

The Prince of Wands is Air of Fire or Specific Air of Primal Fire. His power is tremendous, so Lady Frieda Harris appears to show the "rocking chariot", that is being pulled by Leo (the Sun) the Lion. "Rocking" because of his enormous strength that can go any direction, even unto violence if angered. The Thoth card shows the Marital Prince holding the Phoenix Wand of the Adept of Geburah, and therefore, wields the fiery Severity of Geburah. Purification through fire is the nature of this card. Here, we have a phoenix born of the flames of destruction.

Ruling from the 21st degree of Cancer to the 20th degree of Leo, he is endowed with a powerful faculty for expanding and volatilizing. His arms are free of armor and mail, as he is vigorous and active. As you can see, he is aflame in every way above, the rayed crown surrounded by a winged Lion head sending from his crown a curtain of flame, suggesting the Solar Logos and the power of his creative will. In his left hand (side of the Goddess) he holds the Phoenix Wand of Power and Energy, while the other is holding the reigns of the Lion. His sexual energy is renowned. One can see in him the embodiment of Phoebus Apollo, the lord of the sun wagon racing across the sky.

With wheels radiating flame, he rides on a sea of flames, both waved and salient. This card shows Swiftness and Strength as his primary moral qualities.

The female aspect of the Prince of Wands is shown as the Chariot and wheels in the red color of Mother Binah, who supports his stability, and motion.

The Divinatory meaning of The Archetype Prince of Wands is:

• His or her opinions are often violently expressed but being emphatic does not mean he'll hold the opinion for long. He just loves vigorous statements just to feel the vigorous flow.
• The truth being, he is often slow to make up his mind and is essentially just and sees both sides of a question.
• Having a noble and generous character causes him to lean towards expressing extravagant hyperbole while secretly laughing at the boast and himself for making it.
•  Being of fanatical courage linked with indefeasible endurance, he often chooses to fight against the odds and always wins in the very long run.
• The Passion radiating off this person frightens most people because of the mystery it presents.
•  He is of Dragon, and thus he strikes terror in the heart of the less inclined.
• His generosity and deeds may be impeccable, but the heat of his passion scares the pale soul who avoids the Sun/son.
• Without a lust for results, he loves work and exercise for its own sake.
• Paradoxical is his contempt for the world at large, while holding ecstatic respect for every individual man and woman.
• The Mystery of such a one who is a Sun. This Sun Warrior is an aspect of the Solar Logos that puts ideas into action and will fight for their survival!
• There is a sense of Romantic Revolution with this one.
• Most people enjoy his passionate demeanor, but woe to the person that focuses his wrath.
• Because of this Swift and agile personality, many of his acquaintances are not committed to him as friends, for his swift mystery baffles most of them as he is all that is unexpected, startling, unpredictable, unconventional, but having a deep underlying consistency.

The card if ill defined:

•  His great pride, which is his main fault, makes him hold in contempt, meanness and pettiness and he is adept at wielding every weapon of ridicule, while still giving the shirt off his back to the one so scorned.
• Impulsive, often easily directed by outside influences, even trifling ones, he can be prey to indecision.
