Radiant: Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot-Knight of Pentacles

The Rider-Waite-Smith- Knight of Pentacles, focuses on this mundane meaning of enduring, stalwart and imperturbable character. This medieval knight is stationary, holding a Pentacle in his right hand and firmly seated on his sturdy statue like mount. In the background is a cultivated field implying his contribution to agriculture as a fecund force of growth (bringing forth the vegetation) which suggests the Green Man, as does the green foliage on both his helm and the charger's bridle. The whole card is bathed in sun light which suggests summer fertility.

B.O.T.A. Tarot-Knight of Pentacles

The B.O.T.A. Knight of Pentacles, is shown as being more exuberant than the Rider-Waite-Smith Knight, this is because the knights are ruled by the 6th Sephiroth Tiphareth, which is The Central Sun of our conscious energy expression into incarnation. Tiphareth is called -Beauty, which is a collective harmony and is as high as our Personal Conscious can go up the Qabalistic Tree of Life. In Tiphareth, one sacrifices his personality - that which he believed themselves to be, to the Higher Self-the original Divine Golden Child of the Queen and King. Hence, he is called a Prince in the Qabalistic Thoth Tarot. Tiphareth is the root intelligence of all the Princes/Knights of Tarot and is the Light of the Soul, on which the life of the Psyche depends.

This state of Consciousness is known in the Mysteries of Ancient Wisdom, as the Christ, or Buddha consciousness and it brings the body into a "higher" state of vibratory life force; a force some know as "unconditional Love". When the body channels this State of Energy Conscious that is Tiphareth, the physiology changes into that of a "Masters body". However, only through diligent meditative techniques and ritual divination is this conscious state possible to physically experience.

THE RIDER-WAITE-SMITH-KNIGHT OF PENTACLES. AND THE B.O.T.A. KNIGHT are comparable cards.

The Traditional Tarot Knights, are called the Prince of the Chariot of Earth. Prince and Emperor of the Gnomes and they are attributed to the last Decan of Aries and the first two Decan of Taurus.

This Prince is the Air of Earth and/ or Specific Air of Primal Earth. Hence, they are attributed to the ancient mythology of the Green Man of the Forest.

The both the Rider-Waite- Smith and B.O.T.A. Knight of Pentacles, is the Prince of Disks on the Qabalistic Tarot Birth Wheel. Denoting a very earthly personality. The Violet coloring ot the sky and the B.OT.A. Knight of the Air of Earth, is because of the sky color of these cards are blue-violet.
