MAJOR ARCANA (The Trumps)

Part 2: The Chariot through Art

Riding as a triumphant king, the Knight of the Holy Graal conveys the precious secret of life in a starry, canopied Chariot. The blood is the life, cosmic equivalent of evolving DNA, carried by the Charioteer through the sea of infinite generations.

The process of creation finds the perfect partner in the manifest Goddess of Adjustment (Justice). With her golden scales she equilibrates all energies, forces, and principles; against the feather of her perfect truth she weighs the heart of humanity.

The Hermit stands upon his lonely mountaintop and gives his light to the world. It is also he who descends into the underworld of our subconscious and, if we allow him, will guide us to the celestial heavens of super-consciousness. From this spiritual vantage we see the cyclic nature of creation, an ever changing, ever increasing, ever diminishing Wheel of Fortune. The power, which turns the wheel, is the primal, undirected Lust (Strength) of solar energy, symbolized by a beautiful Goddess astride a great lion. It is she who now bears the Holy Graal.

The still, blue waters that suspend the Fool as a babe, serve also to reflect. Is it you, or is it the Hanged Man who is upside down? His self-sacrifice is not an occasion for mourning. Death is life itself. The caterpillar dies to become the butterfly; the maiden dies to become the mother. Without the Great Transformer there can be no new beginnings.

A royal marriage, the alchemical union of opposites is celebrated in the Art (Temperance) card. Male and Female, Sun and Moon are conjoined to create the elixir of life. Fire is poured upon water and water upon fire to produce the rainbow seal of a Divine covenant.
