Hi Guys,

I have the initial design of XXIII - The Throne.

Please give me your ideas.

Blessed be

Guys,
the size again, sorry!!!!!!!!

Blessed be

I think I missed the excerpts that lead to this... I'm very curious... but can you refer me to the ideas for this card please?

Hi Sweetsunrae,

The Throne is one of 5 additional cards i'm adding to my deck. This card is in the cosmic level of consciousness, and actually concern more to the spiritual than the mundane. However we need to consider that it would also have a conotation to being in the mundane and existential levels of consciousness.

Considering this, you need to look at the zodiac on each pillar, designatimg the four "saints" represented on the world card. This card is still being designed and we can't realy derive at a very specific design or interpritation at this stage.

I will post more info on the symbolism ASAP.

Blessed be!

Hi Guys.

Let's get into the symbolism of the Throne, number 23.

Firstly you need to visit the Major Arcanum Astrological associations to see how the Hewbrew Alphabet is actually structured in relation to the Tarot.

We are currently working on the archetypal level of energy.

You need to visit Tarot Topics to see all the other discussions and it would be well advised to follow the discussions on each letter in order for you to have a better understanding on where it all started.

Adding five additional Major Arcanum cards is due to the five "finals" we find in the hebrew alphabet. These have a specific meaning to each as well as a definite numeric value. To only attach 22 cards to the hebrew alphabet, omitting the five finals does not really direct us to have a true rendition of the association to the Aleph-Beth.

The Aleph-Beth has its first nine in the archetypal, but they also uplift into the existential and ultimately to the cosmic including the finals.

The Throne is linked to Kaf(final)-500, meaning palm, in the existential it is Kaf(20)-Palm--Justice. In the Archetypal it is 5--Hay--The Hierophant--Taurus. But the Hierophant also uplifts to 50--Nun--Temperance--Sagitarius.

The Throne is a blending of many cards and it's symbolism links to all the Majors we link it to.

Symbolism.
We need to consider the first and foremost, being the link to the World and four Kings. Giving carefull consideration we need to consider that these are fixed Zodiac signs. It will also be represented on the Throne as God is above all and higher than the King of Kings.

The Throne being uplifted from the archetypal--The Hierophant, into the Cosmic 20--Justice and 50--Temperance, then ultimately into the cosmic 500.

Therefore, if we look at the Majors 1-5, we see formative dualities in the High Priestess and Hierophant. The Empress and the Emperor. Looking at the Throne, our first consideration is to uplift the duality of the High Priestess and Hierophant. The pillars represent the formal structures of Justice and the law as given to Moses by God. We see the stone tablets with the star of David, linking to the Hermit and the Lion of Judah.

In the Bible the Throne of Solomon is given to the King of Kings. It's made of Ivory and the finest gold. The face of a Lion will be added to the arm-rests of the Throne.

The six steps to God's Throne, represent the six virtues with Love as being the greatest. The six trumpets, represent humanity being judged, as God created man on the sixth day.
