VICTORY
SIX OF WANDS
This card represents Tiphareth of the suit of Fire. This shows Energy in completely
balanced manifestation. The Five has broken up the closed forces of the Four with revolution‐
ary ardour, but a marriage has taken place between them; and the result is the Son, and the
Sun.
The reference is also to Jupiter and Leo, which seems to imply a benediction on the
harmony and beauty of this arrangement. It Will be seen that the Three Wands of the Three
Adepts are now orderly arranged; and the flames themselves, instead of shooting out in all
directions, burn steadily as in lamps. They are nine in number, in reference to Yesod and the
Moon. This shows the stabilization of the Energy, and its reception and reflection by the Femi‐
nine.
There is no circle to enclose the system. It is self‐supporting, like the Sun.
