Card One
Knight of Coins from the Tarot Genoves Deck
Card Meaning When Upright
A useful Man, Trustworthy, Wisdom, Economy, Order, Regulation;
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
An useful man; useful discoveries.
Card Two
Justice from the Tarot Genoves Deck
Card Meaning When Upright
Equilibrium, Balance, Justice;
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
Fortitude. This is one of the cardinal virtues, of which I shall speak later. The female figure is usually represented as closing the mouth of a lion. In the earlier form which is printed by Court de Gebelin, she is obviously opening it. The first alternative is better symbolically, but either is an instance of strength in its conventional understanding, and conveys the idea of mastery. It has been said that the figure represents organic force, moral force and the principle of all force.
Card Description
A woman crowned and seated on a throne (between two columns), holding in her right hand an upright sword, and in her left the scales. She symbolises Equilibrium and Justice.
Card Three
The Lovers from the Tarot Genoves Deck
Card Meaning When Upright
Wise Dispositions, Proof, Trials Surmounted;
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
The Lovers or Marriage. This symbol has undergone many variations, as might be expected from its subject. In the eighteenth century form, by which it first became known to the world of archaeological research, it is really a card of married life, shewing father and mother, with their child placed between them; and the pagan Cupid above, in the act of flying his shaft, is, of course, a misapplied emblem. The Cupid is of love beginning rather than of love in its fulness, guarding the fruit thereof. The card is said to have been entitled Simulacyum fidei, the symbol of conjugal faith, for which the rainbow as a sign of the covenant would have been a more appropriate concomitant. The figures are also held to have signified Truth, Honour and Love, but I suspect that this was, so to speak, the gloss of a commentator moralizing. It has these, but it has other and higher aspects.
Card Description
This is usually described as representing Man between Vice and Virtue, while a winged genius threatens Vice with his dart. But I am rather inclined to the opinion that it represents the Qabalistical Microprosopus between Binah and Malkuth (seemy Kabbalah Unveiled), while the figure above shows the Influence descending from Kether. It is usually considered to mean Proof or Trial; but I am inclined to suggest Wise Disposition as its signification.
Card Four
Knight of Clubs from the Tarot Genoves Deck
Card Meaning When Upright
Departure, Separation, Disunion;
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
A bad card; according to some readings, alienation.
Card Five
The Papess from the Tarot Genoves Deck
Card Meaning When Upright
Science, Wisdom, Knowledge, Education;
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
The High Priestess, the Pope Joan, or Female Pontiff; early expositors have sought to term this card the Mother, or Pope's Wife, which is opposed to the symbolism. It is sometimes held to represent the Divine Law and the Gnosis, in which case the Priestess corresponds to the idea of the Shekinah. She is the Secret Tradition and the higher sense of the instituted Mysteries.
Card Description
A woman crowned with a high mitre or tiara (her head encircled by a veil), a stole (or a solar cross) upon her breast, and the Book of Science open in her hand. She represents Science, Wisdom, or Knowledge.
Card Six
Ace of Swords from the Tarot Genoves Deck
Card Meaning When Upright
Triumph, Fecundity, Fertility, Prosperity;
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
Great prosperity or great misery.
Card Seven
Two of Swords from the Tarot Genoves Deck
Card Meaning When Upright
Friendship, Valour, Firmness, Courage;
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
Gifts for a lady, influential protection for a man in search of help.
Card Eight
Seven of Clubs from the Tarot Genoves Deck
Card Meaning When Upright
Success, Gain, Advantage, Profit, Victory;
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
A dark child.
