A Walk Through the Thoth Tarot

A Walk Through the Thoth Tarot

The Star
This Star is Nuit, not arched across the sky, but in Goddess form. Crowley also says she is the personification of Babylon/Scarlet Woman.  The great globe behind her represents the entire heavens surrounding the Earth - so everything we see on the card transcends the concept of infinite space. 

Crowley writes: From the golden cup she pours this ethereal water, which is also milk and oil and blood, upon her own head, indicating the eternal renewal of the categories, the inexhaustible possibilities of existence. The left hand, holds a silver cup from which also she pours the immortal liquid of life.

A card of hope and promise and rest and renewal, Nuit gives: Unimaginable joys on earth: certainty, not faith, while in life, upon death, peace unutterable, rest, ecstasy; nor do I demand aught in sacrifice." (Book of the Law)
