What does it mean in numerology at The Empress Tarot

Crowley would like to draw attention to the situation the way appropriate to the Empress, on the tree of life. This path connects Chokmah and Binah, the original male and female principle, who are over the precipice. However, as the formula of love, Venus, the Empress is universal and cuts across all the tree of life. In this sense, the Empress, represents not only matter, but rather that an invisible substance that connects the matter, giving it a charm, it is the force that the Greeks called eros, and love is in the highest, the magical sense. Here we must stop and understand what is implied Aleister Crowley, the word "love." Vryat if you can find a concept that would have had a number of discrepancies in interpretation. To understand the essence of the formula of love must be completely reject all the opinions and judgments that had formed throughout life and try to look at it is absolutely fresh look. I understand that it's easier said than done, but still let's try.

Formula of love, is analyzed by Crowley in his essay "Tetragrammaton". It makes no sense to quote large passages from there, because anyone can read, this essay itself. The main thesis is - love, an encounter of two oppositely charged forces, which tend to merge. This merger will mean the death of each of these forces, in the form in which it is, and at the same time is the most cherished goal posolku is the only way that can allow to be born anew in a totally new quality. This is the key to what represents an archetype of transformation per se, and that is why Crowley argued that love has a formula of the tree. Symbolically, the formula of love corresponds to the Tetragrammaton - Father Yod, fire, enter into a merger with the mother of Xe, as a result of their merger and subsequent death, is born Wow - son, and the second hye - daughter, which re-animates his father. Emphasis is placed on the total destruction of the two original components and the birth of something radically new, his son and daughter are both a reflection of his father and mother, but what is fundamentally different, a new spiral of life.

Having reasonable knowledge of Jung's teachings, it is easy to understand that the same principle as the basis for his analysis of the alchemical stages rozariuma philosophers, in his essay "The Psychology of the transfer, and the stages are not four but ten, but the basic principle of love as transformation here is the same - from the fountain of Mercury (1), raised the king and queen and an alliance of love (2), exposed (3), immersed in the baptismal font of birth and death (4), are joined in the act of love (5), die (6 ), their soul was going up (7), the white water of Mercury moon clean them (8), the soul returns (9) and is pursuant to the cherished goal - the birth of the perfect androgyne (10). I must say that the commentary to these stages Jung considers the first stage of the analytical process when unconscious of analyst and analysand at a certain stage of functions in the same turn, in accordance with the formula of Tetragrammaton.

However, this formula is the third Arkan is not exhausted, it (the formula of love), but rather a secret essence of the Empress, while in most cases, the appearance of the empress in the alignment of Tarot cards simply means the influence of the maternal principle. In this aspect, it seems like a pair of opposites emperor - a loving mother, as compensation, a strict father, mother nature, and nature as compensation to the city, civilization and control. It should be remembered that the foreign idyll of natural man, always hiding uncontrollable instincts. Note that the obsession with the mother principle, in its primitive manifestations often led to the ideology of "blood and soil" and in this respect, the duality of the emperor and empress is only the outer shell, in the interior they are totally merged, as mother earth and father the king. In celebration of this "idyllic", the man left the unenviable position of infantile child being is only part of the whole and completely devoid of personality. Where the Emperor and Empress in full. Hold the reins of government, every individual will be perceived as a sin, a violation of the law, the destruction of paradise of childhood, to be ruthlessly destroyed.

Whereas, The High Priestess is the anima of heaven, the Empress is the Anima earth. And only in their constant battle of being born personality. Let us recall the words of Faust:

"Ah, two souls live in my chest.

Wants to break away from one another ...

In a rough lust a press oneself to the ground,

All quivering members avidly

And another breaks out of the dust of the earth

By heavenly homeland "(Goethe's" Faust ")

It is not hard to guess that these two souls (anima), is a High Priestess and the Empress. On the tree of life of their path - the path and the path of Gimel Dalet form a cross in the center of which lies the abyss Daat, from which emanates all the perceived universe. The symbolic significance of the cross is the crucifix on the contrary, where the vertical line represents the spirit, and the horizontal matter. This interpretation is exactly the tree of life - path of Gimel, is vertical and goes to Keter, Dalet and the path is horizontal and is the secret formula the connectedness of all created things. Another paradox of the Empress - a static salt, it is a principle of inertia, but as a universal formula of love, one of the main laws of evolution. The basis of the union of opposites - love. Other aspects of the wedding formula, will be considered when analyzing the fourteenth Arkan.
