Radiant: Rider-Waite-Smith- Seven of Cups
The Rider-Waite-Smith, Seven of Cups, shows a dark shadow figure of a man and an outlined cloud scene as the base for the Seven Cups, hinting at corruption of the sacred objects in each of the Cups; the corruption of thought (head), the veiling of consciousness by indoctrination and dogma (veiled goddess figure), the corruption of the serpent/vital -sexual-life force (The Spirit), corruption of the solid physical manifestation (mountain), corruption of wealth (jewels), the corruption of victory (wreath) and the corruption of the Dragon within (sex energy/kundalini). This symbolism of floating on a dark cloud suggests the corruption of the Sacrament in each cup and that corruption is belief that all these things bring happiness. That is a falsehood, since happiness is a state of "knowing thyself".The Seven of Cups is a card of Transition; the goal is attained but effort, even hardship is required to overcome obstacles, and frequently, sacrifice.
Hence, we know that the human form is a sacrament. For a sacrament is a rite. Since the body is alive and sentient, it is the sacrament of Spirit's will to be and the magic rite of intimacy; The rite to be! By thinking ill of any part of our ternary selves of Self, which is the whole Spirit: (I)-Mind (Am) and Body (Me), is to profane the sacred act of Will that began as "I Will BE", which Qabalist know as Kether, the 1st Will whose god name is Eheieh-meaning- "I Will Be". Therefore, we are the establishment of that "first movement of Will in the Universe", and the manifested goal, for we are the "I AM Being" ; hence the will of the One's destination achieved. What Waite is hinting at is what Crowley called his 7 of Cups, and that is debauch. Here the self-conscious is intoxicated over the many worded choices, which puts a caul over the awake consciousness. This caul of darkness creates a false ego, which tells you it is you...a lie and deception, for you are the "I AM" and therefore, the true master of your identity. Know that you are Love, Life, and Truth, any part of your mind that says otherwise is the "deceiver" and/or the "false ego".
The Milo Manara Erotic Tarot- 7 of Water
The Milo Manara Erotic Tarot-7 of Water displays a shower scene of imagination and whimsy. Here, a young woman is showering, Water being the element of this card, and is unaware of the danger approaching her. Since the meaning of this card is:
- Imagination.
- Whimsy.
- intangible danger.
The image makes some stretch towards sense. Milo Manara also assigns the Astrological meaning of Venus in Scorpio to this card, which implies the need to love ardently and secretly. This could be the reason for the dark, mysterious, and threatening stranger as he is both dangerous and alpha.
