Upon his armour are ten Stars of Assiah, the inheritance of celestial dew from his mother. He bears as a crest the Crab appropriate to the sign. The vizor of his helmet is lowered, for no man may look upon his face and live. For the same reason, no part of his body is ex‐ posed. Cancer is the house of the Moon; there are thus certain analogies between this card and that of the High Priestess. But, …
