Thoth Tarot Tuesdays: Princess of Swords

So yeah a lot of exciting stuff today to hit.

First off, if you didn't know, my webcomic "Ophelia" launched today:

Go check that funness out.

Second off, it's Tuesdays, and in addition to be thing the day when a new webcomic episode comes out, they are the days I explore the tarot card which next week's issue deals with. Which incidentally, if you are coming here from the webcomic, last week's card, the Hermit, was explored here

So anyways . The Princess of Swords.
Crowley writes of the Princess of Swords:
"The Princess of Swords represents the earthy part of Air, the fixation of the volatile. She brings about the materialization of Idea. She represents the influence of Heaven upon Earth. She partakes of the characteristics of Minerva and Artemis, and there is some suggestion of the Valkyrie. She represents to some extent the anger of the Gods, and she appears helmed, with serpent-haired Medusa for her crest. She stands in front of a barren altar as if to avenge its profanation, and she stabs downward with her sword. The heaven and the clouds, which are her home, seem angry.
The Princess is stern and revengeful. Her logic is destructive."

The Princess also as a rule has her place at the bottom of the tree of life in Malkuth, which is the Kingdom. It is so far removed from the original idea, that it actually acts more as a moon, emmanating reflections from the creation back to the original idea.

I found the best way to understand the Princess of Swords through understanding Artemis. Artemis is the wrathful goddess hunter, who is also associated with Diana(who embarrassed Paul at Ephesus--so much so that when he had the opportunity to go back to the city, he decided he was in too much of a hurry(wink wink)). A lot of the stories associated with her hinge on a sometimes over the top and harsh act of revenge she takes for either a real slight or a percieved one. She's not someone you want to even give the impression of screwing over, let alone actually screwing her over. She has quite the high body count.

She is also a skilled hunter though. So when the card is drawn, the higher qualities of this card refer to a cleverness in practical affairs, while the lower aspects(if you want to call them that) refer to revenge, and the lowest aspect is destructive acts of delusion.

Good day, sun shines!
There have been times of troubles when I felt unhappy missing knowledge about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright pessimistic person.
I have never imagined that there weren't any need in large initial investment.
Now, I'm happy and lucky , I begin to get real money.
It's all about how to select a proper partner who utilizes your money in a right way - that is incorporate it in real business, parts and divides the income with me.

You can ask, if there are such firms? I'm obliged to answer the truth, YES, there are. Please get to know about one of them:

Hi there!
I would like to burn a theme at here. There is such a thing, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of financial piramyde, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.

For several years , I earn money with the help of these programs.
I'm with no money problems now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I make 2G daily, and I started with funny 500 bucks.
Right now, I managed to catch a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Turn to my blog to get additional info.

Yes indeed, in some moments I can phrase that I acquiesce in with you, but you may be considering other options.
