Here the woman takes the form of Despair, while the eagle-headed man is Cruelty. Cruelty can be directed outward or inward as self-cruelty, which often stems from Despair. The eagle-headed man directs the Cruelty outward with his bow, aiming to wound with a cruelly barbed arrow. The lion-headed woman here directs the abuse inw…

We worry: will the weather be conducive or destructive for our harvest? Will there be enough to eat?... The decan is ruled by Mercury. Mercury is a mathematician. The disks surrou…

Meleen's post for Aries 2 Part of the 3 of Wands from Telos Tarot of 777 A tiny portion of the info at Meleen's blog: "The decan is ruled by the Sun both by Chaldean descending order and by triplicity, and the Sun is exalted in Aries, with the exaltation degree in this decan, adding to the virtue of this card. The Sun is mainly a giver of light and of life on this earth, but its harsh rays in the desert can also bring death. Behind and above all is a sun with six rays - a solar number. The Sun is crowned with a five-pointed crown…
