Card One
Knight of Wands from the Waite Smith Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Upright
Departure, absence, flight, emigration. A dark young man, friendly. Change of residence.
Papus's Divinatory Meanings
A dark young man. A friend.
Card Description
He is shewn as if upon a journey, armed with a short wand, and although mailed is not on a warlike errand. He is passing mounds or pyramids. The motion of the horse is a key to the character of its rider, and suggests the precipitate mood, or things connected therewith.
Card Two
Knight of Swords from the Waite Smith Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Upright
Skill, bravery, capacity, defence, address, enmity, wrath, war, destruction, opposition, resistance, ruin. There is therefore a sense in which the card signifies death, but it carries this meaning only in its proximity to other cards of fatality.
Papus's Divinatory Meanings
Young dark man. An enemy. A spy.
Card Description
He is riding in full course, as if scattering his enemies. In the design he is really a prototypical hero of romantic chivalry. He might almost be Galahad, whose sword is swift and sure because he is clean of heart.
Card Three
Six of Wands from the Waite Smith Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Upright
The card has been so designed that it can cover several significations; on the surface, it is a victor triumphing, but it is also great news, such as might be carried in state by the King's courier; it is expectation crowned with its own desire, the crown of hope, and so forth.
Papus's Divinatory Meanings
Failure.
Card Description
A laurelled horseman bears one staff adorned with a laurel crown; footmen with staves are at his side.
Card Four
Four of Swords from the Waite Smith Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Upright
Vigilance, retreat, solitude, hermit's repose, exile, tomb and coffin. It is these last that have suggested the design.
Papus's Divinatory Meanings
Enemy defeated.
Card Description
The effigy of a knight in the attitude of prayer, at full length upon his tomb.
Card Five
Knight of Pentacles from the Waite Smith Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Upright
Utility, serviceableness, interest, responsibility, rectitude-all on the normal and external plane.
Papus's Divinatory Meanings
A young, fair man. A stranger. An arrival.
Card Description
He rides a slow, enduring, heavy horse, to which his own aspect corresponds. He exhibits his symbol, but does not look therein.
Card Six
Three of Cups from the Waite Smith Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Upright
The conclusion of any matter in plenty, perfection and merriment; happy issue, victory, fulfilment, solace, healing.
Papus's Divinatory Meanings
Mutual love.
Card Description
Maidens in a garden-ground with cups uplifted, as if pledging one another.
Card Seven
Eight of Swords from the Waite Smith Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Upright
Bad news, violent chagrin, crisis, censure, power in trammels, conflict, calumny; also sickness.
Papus's Divinatory Meanings
Enemy only partially successful.
Card Description
A woman, bound and hoodwinked, with the swords of the card about her. Yet it is rather a card of temporary durance than of irretrievable bondage.
Card Eight
King of Swords from the Waite Smith Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Upright
Whatsoever arises out of the idea of judgment and all its connexions-power, command, authority, militant intelligence, law, offices of the crown, and so forth.
Papus's Divinatory Meanings
Dark bad man. A soldier, an enemy, or one to be mistrusted.
Card Description
He sits in judgment, holding the unsheathed sign of his suit. He recalls, of course, the conventional Symbol of justice in the Trumps Major, and he may represent this virtue, but he is rather the power of life and death, in virtue of his office.
