Radiant-Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot- Key 19-The Sun
The Modern Witch Tarot-Key 19- The Sun
The return to the Childhood of the Sun is indicated on the Rider-Waite-Smith and Modern Witch Tarot Key 19 Card. What is shown is a child riding a white horse; the white horse being a symbol for Apollo, the Sun God and implies that on this Tarot card, we return to our Apollo-Sun God youth and collect our divine inheritance. The Modern Witch Tarot also depicts the Son/the Child but fully clothed in white and as a female which works, as the "Sun/Son is not a gender. The Sun behind the Fool, is our very first symbol in Tarot of the Life Power and is a clue to all the rest of the Deck. In Key 0, it is shown as White ( the dress on the Modern Witch) to represent the Spiritual Life Center of the Universe. Here it is also yellow to represent the Life Power of our Sun. and the Soul The Sun collects and distributes Celestial Impulses of Power which gives us our light and life., the Soul is a collective of "Life Forces" that causes the body to "breathe". Hence, it is also called the Collecting Intelligence.
On both The Modern Witch and Rider-Waite-Smith, Key 19, is shown the Sun's radiation (Straight lines) and Vibrations (Wavy lines). Because the Sun is not an inanimate object, but a Living Celestial Being and/or Living, conscious Intelligence, it is shown with human features. The 5 sunflowers (4+ the wreath on the Rider-Waite-Smith Child's head) represent the natural kingdoms: mineral, vegetable, animal and human. The Solar Son/Sun, represents the future conscious state (Horus) of the human growth beyond our present state, known as the state of Regeneration. Therefore, the Child on the Horse, represents regenerated humanity. This also recalls the statement attributed to Jesus Christ, that we must be "as the Children to enter the Kingdom of Heaven" (Supernal Triangle of Kether-Chokmah-Binah). The Stone Wall, on the Rider-Waite-Smith card and brick wall on the Modern Witch key 19-represents the partial truth that is represented by the senses. Hence, the comprehension of Truth is limited if founded solely on sensatory evidence, as in materialistic science. Therefore, the wall in the background also represents human adaptation of natural conditions. It is, furthermore, the representation of the whole chain of ideas attributed to the Hebrew Letter, Cheth, (pronounced Kayluth) - meaning "enclosure or fence". This also includes human speech which uses words to "enclose" our identity.
In the head/brain, which is the Sun of the body are collected, all the human powers. In fact, the Latin word "countenance" means to "hold together or contain". Therefore, we find in the Key 19 plain intimations of authority and leadership. Left brain is Animus, and right brain is Anima, as our brains are perfect copies of our Souls/Solar Selves.
The Key 19, Thoth Tarot also uses twins to explain the 0=2 and/or the pairing of opposites in all creation. Infact, attributed to Resh, are Fruitfulness and Sterility , as the Sun is responsible for both lush growth and deserts. The term of Collective Intelligence, implies to collect, assemble or bring together, to combine or unify, to embody and to synthesize. The Soul (Solar Self) which refers to the Sun, collects and combines all modes of intelligence that went before the present and combines them in a new (Known) form.Thus it is a regenerative mode of consciousness, incorporating all the elements of control into a new realization of personality. The I AM realizes the difference between I and Am (Identity and Mind) thereby, creating a renewed Me. Identity is "I", existence, but Am, is assumed information and that assumption compared to existence/Identity builds Me. Therefore, the bright and brilliant intelligence knows that "What I AM" is all assumption and therefore, easily and constantly renewed by combining all assumptions, coming up with a new sum of "what I AM".
Even though the wall is stone or brick, it has 5 courses, symbolizing the 5 obvious human senses. Even in the a language of the largest vocabularies, all concrete and abstract terms are derived from sensory experience. Therefore, language fails whenever one attempts to use it to explain that which is beyond sensory experience. Leaving, mystics, and seers, the necessity of symbolic use of language. They are not trying to hide anything, on the contrary no one is more eager to express themselves than a wise person who has first hand knowledge of the "As above so below" (Inner and outer planes) of experience. The truth of the matter being, that ordinary language will not convey the truth of this kind of experience from one mind to another. Hence, the TAROT. and its Qabalistic Partnership both require experience..
The real meaning of Father-Mother-Child represented in mythologies and theologies, begins to become apparent when in conversation with this archetype. Self-Consciousness (Self-Awareness) -the archetypal child-emerges from a perfect integration (communion) of the conscious (Father) and the unconsciousness (Mother). When is all said and done, the chief task of the Child/Hero is the overcoming of inner darkness by the use of the inner sun light- Overcoming the subconscious fears of the survival thinking.
When the Sun, Key 19, is thrown in an divination, it implies:
- The instinctual striving for the Light.
- Reconciliation with the shadow side.
- Realization of the Innermost (Highest) Self.
- Vivacity.
- Acceptance of Life.
- Vitality.
- Generosity.
- Warmth.
- Freshness.
- Self-confidence.
- The Ascent into light.
If Reversed:
- Self-satisfaction.
- Personality cult.
- Delusions of grandeur.
- Blinding, scorching, parching.
