Gør hvad du vil skal være Lovens helhed

22. december – 30.. december

Dette er Stenbukkens vished i toppen – det kardinale jordtegns frydefuldt hvilende vibration. Kortets navn er Change // Forandring. Dets formel lyder: Jord + Jupiter i Stenbukken + 2. sfære.

Vi er, hvor vi skal være – alt er, som det skal være:

Visdommens impuls, herfra kan alt begynde. Vi erindrer grundpræget, som vi har mødt det i Herredømme, Kærlighed og Fred – dette er vitterligt et lykkeligt sted at være:

These cards refer to Chokmah. From the point of view of the ordinary person, Chokmah is really No. I and not No.2, because he is the first manifestation; Kether is completely concealed, so that nobody knows anything about it at all. Hence, only on reaching the Deuces does an element appear as the element itself. Chokmah is uncontaminated by any influence; therefore the elements here appear in their original harmonious condition.

Åndens trone

Vi læser videre:

The Two of Pentacles was of old time called the Lord of Harmonious Change. Now, more simply, Change; and here the doctrine must be stated a little more clearly. This suit being of Earth, there is a connection with the Princesses, and therefore with the final H~ of Tetragrammaton. Earth is the throne of Spirit; having got to the bottom, one immediately comes out again at the top. Hence, the card manifests the symbolism of the serpent of the endless band.

The number Two, Chokmah, here rules in the suit pertaining to Earth. It shows the type of Energy appropriate to Two, in its most fixed form. According to the doctrine that Change is the support of stability, the card is called Change.

Its celestial rulers are Jupiter and Capricornus; and these symbols are most inharmonious, so that in practical matters the good fortune of Jupiter is very limited. Their influence on the card is not great. Yet, Jupiter being himself the Wheel (Atu X), he emphasizes that idea.

Jorden er Åndens trone – hvad mere vil I vide? Sandelig, sandelig ser & hører vi: Dette er selve sagen. Slangens bevægelse er uophørlig. Hjulet er vores sande hjem. Alting forandres, så det kan bestå. Slutningen er begyndelsen. Verden er, hvad den er. Vejen er åbenlys. Alting er godt. Forklaringer nyttesløse. Stien er snæver:

The price is in essence the full Understanding of the mind of Nature Herself, and complete sympathy with Her Way of Work.

At vende hjem

Og endelig:

The card represents two Pantacles, one above the other; they are the Chinese symbols of the Yang and Yin duplicated as in the Hsiang. One wheel is dextro- and the other laevo-rotatory. They thus represent the harmonious interplay of the Four Elements in constant movement. One may in fact consider the card as the picture of the complete manifested Universe, in respect of its dynamics.

About them is entwined a green Serpent (see Liber 65, chapter iii, verses 17- 20). His tail is in his mouth. He forms the figure Eight, the symbol of the Infinite, the equation 0=2.

Den grønne linje omkranser Universet. Kronen på Værket er at vende hjem – og blive væk:

Then I beheld myself compassed about with the Infinite Circle of Emerald that encloseth the Universe. O Snake of Emerald, thou hast no time Past, no time To Come. Verily Thou art not. Thou art delicious beyond all taste and touch, Thou art not-to-be-beheld for glory, Thy voice is beyond the Speech and the Silence and the Speech therein, and Thy perfume is of pure ambergris, that is not weighed against the finest gold of the fine gold. Also Thy coils are of infinite range; the Heart that Thou dost encircle is an Universal Heart.

Kærlighed er Loven, kærlighed under vilje
