THE ALCHEMICAL SYMBOLISM OF CROWLEY'S THOTH TAROT

" note: (these are my interpretations, take of it what you will)"

The Six of Disks, Success, represents the Six Planets and the Six Sefira which encircle the Sun, Tiferet

The moon is Yesod

Mercury is Hod, Nezach is Venus

Geburah is Mars, Jupitor is Mercy(Gedulah/Chesed)

Saturn is Understanding

The Seven of Swords, Futility, shows venus, mars, luna, jupiter, mercury, and saturn, reading from left to right. the sun is at the hilt of the sword. i have no idea what the symbol on the very left represents.

This is a good one. Nine of Disks, Gain. Look for the Alchemical Symbols of the Planets within the faces inscribed on the six coins. Represents the same kabbalistic structure, with understanding, saturn at the top, and then reading clockwise, jupitor, venus, the moon, mercury, and mars.

THE FOUR ELEMENTS

Fire, Water, Air, Earth

Again

Now then,

If you look closely under the cape of the Fool, you might notice the Six planets surrounding the Sun, and surrounding That is the 12 Signs of the Zodiac. Cool hey ?

Here we have the three primes of alchemy - mercury at the top, with salt (left) and sulpher (right)

If you are unfamiliar with the three primes, the four elements, the seven planets, the ten sephirah, and the twelve signs of the zodiac - I would highly recommend you to check out the lessons on Alchemy as offered by this site ! You can find them at the Alchemy group webpage
