What does the Tarot Card Art

 To avoid misunderstanding, I want to emphasize that the card is not anime per se, as is well known Anima cards well enough, but rather that the archetype represents a stage of individuation when there is work to anime, and this very work. Not by chance in the chapter devoted to the analysis of the symbolism of this card, Crowley constantly uses the word "wedding", which is a major alchemical symbol, the union of opposites, and more specifically the union of ego-consciousness, for its anime. At the same symbols and indicates the central figure Androgyne on the map, which feeds from the same chalice of the heavenly and earthly eagle lion.

Here's what Crowley wrote about the union of opposites: "The map shows the completion of the royal wedding, which took place in the sixth Arkan is, black and white characters are now united into one androgynous figure. Even the bees and snakes in their robes, entered into an alliance. Red Lion turned white, an increase of in size and importance, at the same time as the white eagle, too, grew up became red. At the bottom of the map visible, harmoniously blended fire and water, but it is only a rough symbol of the spiritual idea, the essence of which - to satisfy the desire of incomplete element of one kind, complete his formula, assimilated equal and opposite. "

Another important symbol is also a green clothing, the central figure. No sense to continue to quote verbatim Crowley - enough to match the shape of alchemical androgyne with a fool zero Arcana, as well as to recall the conductors in the green uniform, and the immortal novel by Gustav Meyrink "green face". We can say that the sixth and fourteenth Arkan form pairs of opposites, representing the binding stage of the Great Work. In this sense, the sixth Arkan will match the initial stage of separation of soul from the power of matter, and the fourteenth - follow these alchemical wedding with their opposites. For a better understanding of the alchemical symbols of the underlying That means the archetypes for the study recommended that the final work of Jung Mystery association. It is in regard to internal alchemy, we find a unique consensus and affinity of Jung's ideas and Crawley, which of course can not be accidental .

The notes of the astral plane, Crowley wrote that there is a special kind of "Alchemy" plan, where the Great Work is often presented in the form of symbolic landscapes populated by quasi-heraldic animals and human characters in the hieroglyphic properties occupied by the mysterious operations of the Hermetic Art. "Certainly the perception of the plan due to work on ways to Zain and Sameh. If you look globally, we can say that the fourteenth Arkan is the ability of consciousness, which Jung termed the transcendent function. The transcendent function. It is a psychological function that appears and operates as a result of tension between the conscious and the unconscious and supports their union, the function relationship between opposites. The transcendent function is an essential component of mental self-regulation. manifesting usually symbolically, it is experienced as a new setting to life and its bearer "(Valery Zelinsky Dictionary of Analytical Psychology").

These provisions will become more clear when we turn to the traditional illustration - dreams. Obviously, we can talk about the activity of the fourteenth Arkan, in cases where the dream shows the union of opposites on a symbolic level. The following dream, most specifically illustrates this: "I saw myself walking through the cemetery with the woman, who at that moment for me is crucial (the projection of the anime), and found themselves near the entrance. I really do not want to go to this temple because I never wanted go to the Orthodox church, for reasons of conscience. She insists, and I still I go with her to the temple. entering I was surprised to see that inside the building is not round and elongated than that resembles the long halls of the palace. I see religious images on walls and in what something I find them very interesting. I get to the end of the hall and to my surprise I see that next begins another room and when I enter into it, I see that there is Christian symbolism mixed with antique half. I see on one wall an image of Christ in the neighborhood with some sort of ancient God.
