The Rider - Waite Tarot Deck CARD 0: THE FOOL Keyword: Contemplation: Innocence. WHERE IS YOUR WISDOM The number 0, which is a circle without a beginning and an ending, shows that THE FOOL can be both at the beginning and at the end of the journey, either very foolish - or very wise. A young man in colourful clothes.- it can be the hero who is starting on his journey - is walking at the edge of an abyss. He is looking towards heaven and does not watch his steps, he is not realising the apparent danger he is in. The sun is shining because his nourishment is his higher Self, he holds a white rose in his hand illustrating his innocence, and has a long red feather in his hat, reflecting his joy of life. A dog is barking at him, it represents the human instincts, but purified as it is a white, domesticated animal, not a wild. On his right shoulder he carries a staff with a bag containing his earthly possessions: the four magic symbols, the cup (the water element), the sceptre (the fire element), the sword (the air element), and the pentacle (the earth element). © 2005 Starbridge Centre Ulla and Erik Sandersen All rights reserved 13
The Rider - Waite Tarot Deck CARD 1:THE MAGICIAN Keyword: Contemplation: Power temptations, moving from innocence to power. WHAT IS YOUR MAGIC The magician is standing at a table decorated with the signs of the zodiac at the edges, because magic is use of cosmic forces. His right arm is pointing towards heaven, and the left towards earth, towards physical manifestation. The white staff with the two poles he holds in his erected right hand is "the staff of life"; a symbol we will meet repeatedly during the succession of major arcana cards, as the staff symbolises the transformative power of the human spine and thus man`s capacity to use and transform different frequencies of energy. The magic tools, the four elements, the sword (air), the cup (water), the pentacle (earth) and the wand or sceptre (fire) which physical manifestation consists of, are lying ready on the table in front of him. Above him and in the foreground there is an abundance of flowers, red roses, symbolising compassion, and white lilies symbolising purity. A closer look at the belt the magician has around his waist reveals that it is an ouroboros snake biting its own tail, meaning that a full cycle is completed. All magic is based on the principle of cyclic events. This insight is the magicians "belt," is what keeps him up and going. The symbol of eternity, the horizontal number eight, above the magicians head, is a further development of the ouroboros snake. In stead of the snake biting its own tail, thus "eating" itself up, the snake shifts dimension. The symbol of eternity is a higher understanding of the ouroboros snake. © 2005 Starbridge Centre Ulla and Erik Sandersen All rights reserved 14
