Princess of the Echoing Hills:
Rose of the Palace of Earth
"Knave of Pentacles"
Princess of Disks. Here we have an attempt to translate into a picture the spiritual
quality of earth, eternally pregnant and containing in its fertility the unwritten cypher
of cosmic lore.
Earthy part of Earth, or the element on the brink of Transfiguration. She is standing, her crest is the head of the ram; her sceptre descends into the earth where its head becomes a diamond. Behind are a grove of trees, and an altar resembling a wheatsheaf. She carries a Disk in whose centre is the Chinese ideogram denoting the twin spiral force of Creation in perfect equilibrium.
Represents the earthy part of earth. A young woman beautiful and strong, as if beholding a secret wonder, pregnant with all life. She is generous, kind, diligent, benevolent, preserving. Ill-dignified; Wasteful and prodigal woman at war and her essential dignity.
