TAROT CARD THE WHEEL OF THE FORTUNE
Considered one of the most symbolic cards in the deck, the Wheel of Fortune is made up of hundreds of esoteric symbols with different meanings, which adorn the great wheel.
The set of signs is made up of different creatures; the angel, the eagle, the whole and the lion, which are related to four fixed signs in the zodiac: leo, taurus, scorpio and aquarius. The four symbols are also representation of the 4 evangelists of the Christian traditions.
Each of the creatures holds a book that represents The Torah, whose message is wisdom and self-understanding. In the wheel there is a sphinx that is in the back and that is the representation of the God Anubis, the serpent indicates the act of descending to the material world.
These two Egyptian figures are representative of the wisdom of the gods and the kings of the underworld and rotate constantly so that one goes up and the other goes down, in constant balance.
WHAT DOES THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE REPRESENT?
It is mainly made up of a large wheel with three figures on the outer edges, which are accompanied by four threaded letters: IHVH (Yod Heh Vau Heh), the unpronounceable name of God. Similarly are the letters TORA, which are thought to be a version of the word Torah, meaning Law or TAROT or ROTA (Latin for wheel).
In the outer circle is a serpent, the Egyptian god Typhon, the god of evil, descending from the left side. The central wheel contains the alchemical symbols of mercury, sulfur, water and salt, the basic components of life and the four elements, as well as representing the formative power either. On the right side stands Anubis, the Egyptian god of the dead who welcomes souls into the underworld. And at the top of the wheel is the sphinx, which represents knowledge and strength.
To finish, four winged figures appear in the four corners; the angel is Aquarius, the eagle is Scorpio, the lion is Leo, and the bull is Taurus. The wings of the creatures signify stability in the midst of movement and change, and The Torah, which is the book they hold in their hands is the Torah that represents the wisdom.
