In the 5 of Wands, we add another dimension to the tetrad called MOTION: In the previous card we had the tetrad with 3 dimensions. Pythagoreans taught that each additional digit (after one, the MONAD) represented an additional DIMENSION. If we look at the diagram below, we can see that the number 5 is the pivotal point for 9 marbles. However, the above cards show that there is an inherent stability in the fives for tarot. Here we have the Tetractys again, with the 5th point being at the centre of the triangle: In order to see why, we can look no further than their numerology It can be seen in the Thoth Deck we have, reading left to right: ‘Strife’, Disappointment’, ‘Defeat’ and ‘Worry’.įor the Rider Waite Deck, reading left to right, we have the wands opposing each other, a sorrowful man, a defeat and people out in the snow for the final cardĪll cards from both decks are therefore challenging. (iv) Comparisons of Thoth and Rider Waite Fives Thus their energies to not complement one another unlike the image below: They are all dressed differently, expressing their individual cultures and backgrounds. The 5 men raise their wands (direct their energy) in different directions. Leo was Aleister Crowley’s Ascendant and so he has incorporated much symbolism in this card.
In the Five of Wands we have 5 staffs on a strong yellow background.
