Description
This is a stereo picture which means you need to cross you eyes to see the 3-D effect.
This is the second version.Instead of copying the original Lady Harris painting I added various texture effects that only a computer can do. As much as I admire the paintings I think this is a better way to go. In the E-zine Silver Star #7 I wrote a essay on the card which is next:
Malkuth of Assiah 10 of Disks
The 10 of Disks is Malkuth of Assiah or the completion of the
Thoth tarot set. Energy which started out in Kether of Atziluth ( the 1 of Wands)
has reached the End-of-the Line and has nowhere to go but either total Calcification
and Death or Rebirth in another Universe ( or Tarot Reading!).
This is shown in 3-D space by having Kether highest and the descending
Disks both lower and increasingly off-center
until you get to the lowest and most bloated Malkuth whose card this is.
Below are Disks that I think represent the Qlippothic forces. The little
Da'ath Disk is the only other one that is Horizontal to
the Frame 'picture' plane.
The yellow Sephorotic disks have engraved upon them the Magus tarot card
and also reflect it, except for the Hod card which is engraved and reflects the Sun.
The lower Qlippothic disks are engraved with either The Devil or Death tarot cards.
They reflect the other:ie. if one is engraved with the Devil it reflects Death.
It is Mercury in Virgo (20`-30`,Sept.12-Sept.22) which is why there
are the symbols of Mercury on all the Coins except Hod (where Mercury
itself is exalted and has been replaced by a Solar symbol to indicate a possible future outcome).I have given the Hod disk a slight glow to show this.
The Symbols are:
Kether: the Traditional Mercury glyph.
Chokhmah: DuQuette says this is Mercury the Magus because it's arms
are in the same position as the Magus Tarot #1.In the Golden Dawn this symbol has all possible planetary symbols combined. I think that this glyph is the perfect symbol
for the Great Work, especially the O.T.O. version:
The central shaft represents the spinal column. Crossed over this is a uraeus serpent
representing the kundalini.This leads to a sun disk with an arrow shaped like
a phallus on top.
Binah: the alkhemical symbol for Mercury.
Chesed: the enochian letter 'Pa'.
Geburah: the hebrew letter 'Beth'.
Tiphareth: Mercury's ruling angel 'Raphael' written in hebrew.
Netzach: the 8 pointed star.
Hod: the solar hexagram within a hexagon representing 1 of 2 possible outcomes to The Great Work.I have given Hod a slight Solar glow to show this.
Yesod: the Tetractys. ( I have the numbers:
8
68
260
2080
in this.
Malkuth: Mercury's wand: the caduceus with Mem at the bottom,Aleph in the center leading to Shin on top.

Really cool! This would make an excellent visualization tool. The 3-D images help the subconscious to manifest!
