The Emperor has Aries assigned to it in the Zodiacal attributions, and this fits neatly with
the burst of "red" energy of the spring equinox as a lower manifestation of the cosmic burst of creation
in Chockmah. The Emperor is the Law and the Logos as is the Magus, who gives the "Word of the
Aeon".
The Tarot cards in the lesser Arcana are related to each of the Sephiroth based on the simple
principle of equal numerations. Thus, the Aces are attributed to Kether, the Twos to Chockmah, and
so forth, down to the Tens which are attributed to Malkuth. The Court Cards are attributed to the
Elements, and the Major Arcana are attributed to the Paths, and through them to the Zodiacal,
Astrological and Elemental Systems. The suits of the cards are said to represent the worlds, or levels,
at which each of the Sephiroth are acting. Thus, for Chockmah we have;
Two Wands Dominion Fire Atziluth
Two Cups Love Water Briah
Two Swords Peace Air Yetzirah
Two Pentacles Change Earth Assiah
The Two of Wands represents the energy of Fire, which is in its highest aspect as "that

(Liber Al, I.44). The Magus has surrendered his Will by merging and recognising his ultimate
identity as identical to that of the Universal Process.
The Two of Cups is the highest emotion of Love, that is to say, the unity of all dualities in
one nature, Chockmah. In the world of Briah, Creation, Two, or duality, is the essence of that
Creation.
The Two of Swords is Peace, but also it is also, according to Crowley, "silence and chastity as
being the ideal purity of thought". Duality in the world of Formation signifies itself as choice, even at
the level of sub-atomic particles, where choices may take place that split an infinite number of
Universes out from each point.
The Two of Pentacles is "harmonious change", which is the Tao. Crowley states that this
card is a "picture of the complete manifested Universe, in respect of its dynamics". The dynamic of
