winged spiritual eye, or Logos; and the lower symbol is the lingam, the symbol of sexual union. The symbol of sexual union is partly encircled, because the conqueror is beginning to realise the oneness of the two energies. Two sphinxes, each representing" the riddle of man", drive the chariot. One of the sphinxes is fair skinned with a hair dress with blue and white stripes, the other is dark skinned and with a hair dress with red and white stripes. A closer look reveals that the two sphinxes only have one body: As the conqueror choose the spiritual path, even the driving forces of the animal instincts begin to transform, to merge. The card carries the number VII and the Hebrew letter ZAIN, meaning "Victory in all worlds". Oswald Wirth' deck CARD 8: LA JUSTICE, JUSTICE Keyword: Contemplation: Truth wins. WHY DOES THINGS HAPPEN, WHY A woman is sitting on her throne with a double-edged sword of truth in her right hand and a pair of scales in perfect equilibrium depicting a karmic neutral situation, in her left. Her throne consists of the positive and negative energy poles, connected with an arc, outlining the lower brim of the mental aura, which also appears to continue as the back of the throne. On top of both pillars is a "fruit-like" formation, which is a stilisation of the pineal gland because that is the way it looks, and because real justice is spiritual in nature. The pineal itself, deeply anchored in the brain, enables clarity. The pineal gland on the right pillar is resting on a spiritual-red "shelf", because the spiritualisation of matter is the purpose of the © 2005 Starbridge Centre Ulla and Erik Sandersen All rights reserved 45
pineal. The pineal gland on the brown shelf is representing the left hand path which should not be touched. In reality there of course exists only one pineal gland. The woman`s clarity reaches all the way up. Truth, the double-edged sword, has pierced a part of the right pillar, the sword of truth has partly even pierced the pineal gland, because even in a part the pineal gland itself is there illusion, experienced as a state of bliss. From the perspective of ultimate truth bliss is an illusion as well. A real search after truth goes beyond even the level of the pineal, so truth has to penetrate even the pineal. This is happening because the choice has been made in the favour of spiritual development (THE LOVERS, card VI). The woman wears a crown with five spikes upon a red cap with the symbol of Christ consciousness in front, telling that she is judging over human life in accordance with spiritual truths. The card carries the number VIII and the letter CHETH. Oswald Wirth' deck CARD 9: L`ERMITE, THE HERMIT Keyword: Contemplation: Clarity, will and courage, one step at a time. LET GO OF THE BIG PICTURE, WHAT IS YOUR NEXT STEP A white-bearded man with bright eyes is walking forward with carefulness, one step at a time. His long, hooded cloak is brown on the outside and blue on the inside, indicating that he looks insignificant on the outside, but has a strong faith in God on the inside. As he is walking, he is orientating himself by help of his staff and the clarity of his lantern. The light in the lantern is the will of God, but THE HERMIT is hiding the lantern within his cloak so only he can see because it is not the will of God to force others. © 2005 Starbridge Centre Ulla and Erik Sandersen All rights reserved 46
