A Walk Through the Thoth Tarot

A Walk Through the Thoth Tarot

Fortune
Follow thy Fortune, careless where it lead thee!
The axle moveth not: attain thou that!

This card thus represents the Universe in its aspect as continual change of state - Crowley.

Change = stability. With that stability comes order.  The Demiurge brings order to so-called creation. The Demiurge is the highest God below the Abyss - and thinks itself the creator or supreme deity because it is unaware of its own creation.  Above the Abyss everything is reconciled - there is no need for the  concepts of change or opposites or luck. It is when we are below the Abyss that those concepts appear. 

Fortune, is the wheel that keeps everything in perpetual motion. Riding it are Hermanubis, Typhon and the Sphinx (mercury, salt and sulfur) and they are going around and around constantly one-upping each other as they go up and then down. 

As we are still below the Abyss we will struggle with Fortune as we go around and around. The best place to do this is from the center. If we can stay balanced and not struggle against this wheel that constantly turns, we can find our own centers and not be crushed by change. Be open and prepared for anything and stay open to that energy flow - go with it and see what opportunities life brings you.
