Radiant Edition: Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot-King of Pentacles

The Rider-Waite-Smith King of Pentacles is most effective in illustrating the fecund growth of this Earthly Fire. Surrounding this throne-bound King, dressed in robes of greenery, and sitting on a throne in a dense growth of green plants. On his head he wears the royal crown, decorated with the five petaled roses of the Western Goddess and surrounded in a wreath of fertility. The heads of the bulls on the throne are a medieval symbol of fertility and the Lion heads show his link with the Sun. Waite's King holds the scepter of the Sun in one hand and a Pentacle, the symbol for earth and mankind, on his lap with the other, acknowledging the union of male and female forces (Sun and Moon) in this fruitful King. Dressed in a robe of harvest, the purple grapes also support the fact that this king is fertile and of good harvest; he sows well and therefore, reaps well. Hinting at his active battle status, underneath his robes, he shows an armored leg. However, here he is in repose and not in battle, as no sword is shown.

The Fairy Tarot- King of Autumn

The Fairy Tarot-King of Autumn sits on his throne with mature ripe grapes all around him. Grapes symbolize fertility and his fecund nature. The German Shepard is a symbol of his ability to guard his property. This king has the Midas touch as all his endeavors turn to gold. However, the Midas touch also turns one's heart into gold as well. Therefore, he is out to save the earth. He can be charming to a fault and will help anyone who asks.

He likes the finer things in life and will work very hard to achieve them. Since this card is often assigned to the astrological sign of Virgo....he tends to work so hard that he ignores the greater details of family life.

The Green Man

Because of Patriarchal rule of our cultures, it is proper to think that Male came first, and that Female came latter. This argument is also because of our short-sighted animal physical perspective on sexuality, where big strong stud is seen as better than soft small female. The startling fact to some, is that if you produce the idea of Male, then you produce the idea of Female simultaneously. There is no male concept without the concept of female and vise verse. So, the argument of who came first is invalid when talking about the Supernal Triangle of Kether-Chokmah-Binah. Chokmah is the second Sephirah and thus is also the force behind the four Deuces. The Personification of that force is represented in the four Kings of traditional Tarot. In other words, Chokmah's will to force, is at its most concentrated and dense elemental form on Earth when represented as an archetypal personality as the King of Pentacles, and/or King of Autumn. He is also often compared to Baccus, God of Wine.

Baccus God of Wine.

The Will to Force (Chokmah) and the Will to Form (Binah) united produce the Will - To - Be, i.e. The Divine Creative, which is the way of saying the mating of I and Am produces the idea of Being "Me", which when "made manifest" is a "me" and/or an assumed personality. Our concept of sexuality needs adjustment before we can understand the One Energy that made itself Two and/or 0=2.
