THE WORLD

From Prairie:
In the World, we see the culmination of the journey we began as the Fool.

The symbols in the corners are the same symbols we see on the Wheel of Fortune.

The laurel wreath is a victory symbol. It's tied up with the ribbons of eternity. (Remember the symbol above the Magician's head?)

The Fool has found his balance & becomes Hermaphrodites, the child of Hermes and Aphrodite.

The wands are the powers of involution & evolution.

The head of the figure & the hands form a triangle. The legs form a cross. This is the triangle above the cross, the opposite of the symbol on the Hanged Man. This represents Spirit surmounting the Material.

This card completes the process started in the Lovers: The merging of the self-conscious with the subconscious & the blending of these 2 with the superconscious, representing the final state of Cosmic Consciousness.

The planetary ruler is Saturn, the symbol of time. This represents the culmination of time.

This card reinforces universal understanding & global awareness. If you want to build a new world, externally & internally, this is the card to use.
