Knight of Cups from the Alleged Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Upright
a sensitive, idealistic, romantic young man
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
A visit from a friend, who will bring unexpected money to the Querent.
Row 1, Card 4
The Traitor from the Alleged Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Upright
sacrifice, dedication
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
The Hanged Man. This is the symbol which is supposed to represent Prudence, and Eliphas Levi says, in his most shallow and plausible manner, that it is the adept bound by his engagements. The figure of a man is suspended head-downwards from a gibbet, to which he is attached by a rope about one of his ankles. The arms are bound behind him, and one leg is crossed over the other. According to another, and indeed the prevailing interpretation, he signifies sacrifice, but all current meanings attributed to this card are cartomancists' intuitions, apart from any real value on the symbolical side. The fortune-tellers of the eighteenth century who circulated Tarots, depict a semi-feminine youth in jerkin, poised erect on one foot and loosely attached to a short stake driven into the ground.
Row 1, Card 5
Ace of Clubs from the Alleged Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Upright
inspiration, enthusiasm, ambition
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
Calamities of all kinds.
Row 1, Card 6
King of Coins from the Alleged Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Upright
reliability, success, security
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
A rather dark man, a merchant, master, professor.
Row 1, Card 7
The Fool from the Alleged Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Upright
sponteneity, trust, taking a risk
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
The Fool, Mate, or Unwise Man. Court de Gebelin places it at the head of the whole series as the zero or negative which is presupposed by numeration, and as this is a simpler so also it is a better arrangement. It has been abandoned because in later times the cards have been attributed to the letters of the Hebrew alphabet, and there has been apparently some difficulty about allocating the zero symbol satisfactorily in a sequence of letters all of which signify numbers. In the present reference of the card to the letter Shin, which corresponds to 200, the difficulty or the unreason remains. The truth is that the real arrangement of the cards has never transpired. The Fool carries a wallet; he is looking over his shoulder and does not know that he is on the brink of a precipice; but a dog or other animal--some call it a tiger--is attacking him from behind, and he is hurried to his destruction unawares. Etteilla has given a justifiable variation of this card--as generally understood--in the form of a court jester, with cap, bells and motley garb. The other descriptions say that the wallet contains the bearer's follies and vices, which seems bourgeois and arbitrary.
Row 1, Card 8
Five of Cups from the Alleged Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Upright
partial loss, disapointment
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
Generally favourable; a happy marriage; also patrimony, legacies, gifts, success in enterprise.
Row 2, Card 1
Knight of Coins from the Alleged Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Upright
thoroughness, dependability, good news
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
An useful man; useful discoveries.
Row 2, Card 2
Eight of Swords from the Alleged Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Upright
restriction, impediment
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
For a woman, scandal spread in her respect.
Row 2, Card 3
Ace of Cups from the Alleged Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Upright
emotion, love, psychic powers
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
Inflexible will, unalterable law.
Row 2, Card 4
Judgement from the Alleged Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Upright
assessment, satisfying outcome
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
The Last judgment. I have spoken of this symbol already, the form of which is essentially invariable, even in the Etteilla set. An angel sounds his trumpet per sepulchra regionum, and the dead arise. It matters little that Etteilla omits the angel, or that Dr. Papus substitutes a ridiculous figure, which is, however, in consonance with the general motive of that Tarot set which accompanies his latest work. Before rejecting the transparent interpretation of the symbolism which is conveyed by the name of the card and by the picture which it presents to the eye, we should feel very sure of our ground. On the surface, at least, it is and can be only the resurrection of that triad--father, mother, child-whom we have met with already in the eighth card. M. Bourgeat hazards the suggestion that esoterically it is the symbol of evolution--of which it carries none of the signs. Others say that it signifies renewal, which is obvious enough; that it is the triad of human life; that it is the "generative force of the earth... and eternal life." Court de Gebelin makes himself impossible as usual, and points out that if the grave-stones were removed it could be accepted as a symbol of creation.
Row 2, Card 5
Five of Swords from the Alleged Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Upright
defeat, humiliation
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
An attack on the fortune of the Querent.
Row 2, Card 6
Seven of Clubs from the Alleged Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Upright
challenge, test, valour
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
A dark child.
Row 2, Card 7
Queen of Cups from the Alleged Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Upright
a warm, sympathetic and sociable woman
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
Sometimes denotes a woman of equivocal character.
Row 2, Card 8
Six of Cups from the Alleged Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Upright
pleasant memories, old friends, childhood
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
Pleasant memories.
Row 3, Card 1
The Sun from the Alleged Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Upright
success, optimism, high ideals
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
The Sun. The luminary is distinguished in older cards by chief rays that are waved and salient alternately and by secondary salient rays. It appears to shed its influence on earth not only by light and heat, but--like the moon--by drops of dew. Court de Gebelin termed these tears of gold and of pearl, just as he identified the lunar dew with the tears of Isis. Beneath the dog-star there is a wall suggesting an enclosure-as it might be, a walled garden-wherein are two children, either naked or lightly clothed, facing a water, and gambolling, or running hand in hand. Eliphas Levi says that these are sometimes replaced by a spinner unwinding destinies, and otherwise by a much better symbol-a naked child mounted on a white horse and displaying a scarlet standard.
Row 3, Card 2
Justice from the Alleged Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Upright
justice, reason, legal matters
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
Fortitude. This is one of the cardinal virtues, of which I shall speak later. The female figure is usually represented as closing the mouth of a lion. In the earlier form which is printed by Court de Gebelin, she is obviously opening it. The first alternative is better symbolically, but either is an instance of strength in its conventional understanding, and conveys the idea of mastery. It has been said that the figure represents organic force, moral force and the principle of all force.
Row 3, Card 3
Ten of Swords from the Alleged Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Upright
crisis, ruin, unlucky group of people
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
Followed by Ace and King, imprisonment; for girl or wife, treason on the part of friends.
Row 3, Card 4
Knight of Clubs from the Alleged Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Upright
a warrior, generous, hasty
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
A bad card; according to some readings, alienation.
Row 3, Card 5
The Papess from the Alleged Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Upright
intuition, dreams, anima
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
The High Priestess, the Pope Joan, or Female Pontiff; early expositors have sought to term this card the Mother, or Pope's Wife, which is opposed to the symbolism. It is sometimes held to represent the Divine Law and the Gnosis, in which case the Priestess corresponds to the idea of the Shekinah. She is the Secret Tradition and the higher sense of the instituted Mysteries.
Row 3, Card 6
Ten of Cups from the Alleged Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Upright
fulfilment, joy, happy family
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
For a male Querent, a good marriage and one beyond his expectations.
Row 3, Card 7
The Tower from the Alleged Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Upright
shock, revelation, accident
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
The Tower struck by Lightning. Its alternative titles are: Castle of Plutus, God's House and the Tower of Babel. In the last case, the figures falling therefrom are held to be Nimrod and his minister. It is assuredly a card of confusion, and the design corresponds, broadly speaking, to any of the designations except Maison Dieu, unless we are to understand that the House of God has been abandoned and the veil of the temple rent. It is a little surprising that the device has not so far been allocated to the destruction Of Solomon's Temple, when the lightning would symbolize the fire and sword with which that edifice was visited by the King of the Chaldees.

A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
A widow.
Row 4, Card 2
The Empress from the Alleged Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Upright
security, well-being, motherhood
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
The Empress, who is sometimes represented with full face, while her correspondence, the Emperor, is in profile. As there has been some tendency to ascribe a symbolical significance to this distinction, it seems desirable to say that it carries no inner meaning. The Empress has been connected with the ideas of universal fecundity and in a general sense with activity.

Row 4, Card 5
Temperance from the Alleged Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Upright
balanced personality, tactfulness
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
Temperance. The winged figure of a female--who, in opposition to all doctrine concerning the hierarchy of angels, is usually allocated to this order of ministering spirits--is pouring liquid from one pitcher to another. In his last work on the Tarot, Dr. Papus abandons the traditional form and depicts a woman wearing an Egyptian head-dress. The first thing which seems clear on the surface is that the entire symbol has no especial connexion with Temperance, and the fact that this designation has always obtained for the card offers a very obvious instance of a meaning behind meaning, which is the title in chief to consideration in respect of the Tarot as a whole.

Wheel of Fortune from the Alleged Tarot Deck
Card Meaning When Upright
good luck, chance event
A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings
The Wheel of Fortune. There is a current Manual of Cartomancy which has obtained a considerable vogue in England, and amidst a great scattermeal of curious things to no purpose has intersected a few serious subjects. In its last and largest edition it treats in one section of the Tarot; which--if I interpret the author rightly--it regards from beginning to end as the Wheel of Fortune, this expression being understood in my own sense. I have no objection to such an inclusive though conventional description; it obtains in all the worlds, and I wonder that it has not been adopted previously as the most appropriate name on the side of common fortune-telling. It is also the title of one of the Trumps Major--that indeed of our concern at the moment, as my sub-title shews. Of recent years this has suffered many fantastic presentations and one hypothetical reconstruction which is suggestive in its symbolism. The wheel has seven radii; in the eighteenth century the ascending and descending animals were really of nondescript character, one of them having a human head. At the summit was another monster with the body of an indeterminate beast, wings on shoulders and a crown on head. It carried two wands in its claws. These are replaced in the reconstruction by a Hermanubis rising with the wheel, a Sphinx couchant at the summit and a Typhon on the descending side. Here is another instance of an invention in support of a hypothesis; but if the latter be set aside the grouping is symbolically correct and can pass as such.
