Tarot Card Comparisons: The Hermetic Thoth Tarot-6 of Wands-Victory & The Connolly Tarot-6 of Wands

The Qabalistic Thoth-SIX OF WANDS: Victory.

* Astrologically-Jupiter in Leo.

To a Qabalist, this card represents Tiphareth (Beauty) in Atziluth [the Pure Spirit World] and brings success and warm relationships after struggle.

The sixes of all suits are a breath of fresh air as our spirit has brought us out of the chaos of the fives which represent strife. Tiphareth is Beauty (The son of the Divine Creative), and Beauty is synchronicity, a willed weaving of frequency that brings balance from strife.  This card also suggests a certain amount of drama before victory is achieved.

The Thoth Deck depicts the crossed Golden Dawn wands of the three Adepts, showing a balanced weaving of the complete energy of Fire. This is a joy-filled card emblematic of personal creative power.

The Six of Wands symbolizes, victory, self-confidence, balance, leadership and glory, all gained after a struggle with one's own subconscious-demons (fear based imagination). Most of us know that failure in itself, stops no one; it is only fear of failure that stops us from creating.  With Fear of Failure in the perspectives, human kind wouldn't be flying from country to country, even into space. For if the pioneers of flight had listened to the fear mongers, as one noted leading physicist stated that heavier than air vehicles would never fly...."not in a million years".

Therefore, to achieve Victory over the "error of survival thinking" we must be the Six of Wands, which is being secure with our identity and possessing a sense of purpose and/or direction. Spirit is Passion and ABOVE ALL THINGS, KNOW THYSELF, truly means that we must know we are gods of the "little g" variety [selves of the Divine Self] if we wish to own destiny.  Hence to serve fear in a foundation capacity, is to have no destiny at all!  So Above all things, know thyself ; know not that ye are gods. Is the whole description of the Real You. Your name is I AM (denoting existence) anything after that is "your destiny", i.e. "Me".  Yes "me" is your destiny, for as we perceive ourselves, we perceive life!

Victory over the self defeating indoctrinated thoughts that are "brain software", is a Spiritual Victory over individual entropy. Those who fear inferiority must act superior and that means they must get others to accept inferiority, by force or deception,  as their identity in order to reign.

Therefore the Spiritual Identity of You, cannot be defined by any person, state, religion, nor psychology. It is not man-made, as all word definition is! Our indoctrinated thoughts are the Trickster/Devil within, and they must not be accepted as truth. Knowledge is not thought, it is the deed of creation. That is why the most intuitive people (sensitives or psychics) release thought and allow the knowledge that constructed them to flow through into expression.

The Spiritual Victory of the Six of Wands, happens when we know that I AM Me...is a deed of being and not a definition belonging to anyone or any other environment outside of our own head. To those who know themselves, knowing that they are the Force (spirit)that Operates Their Form is not a process of thought but a process of self-trust/love.

"I Am the Spirit that owns and operates this body as an expression of creativity called Me!" The Word Me, is destiny, and that means probability where all things are possible, and not the pressure of peers! Victory over your definitions may be hard to grasp...but once you do there is no question of your inherited Divinity!

In the Thoth Deck, the four Sixes represent the center of the whole system of the Tree of Life, known as Tiphareth (Beauty). The Sixes, Tiphareth, are the only Sephiroth below the Abyss that communicates directly with Kether (Crown). Tiphareth, is fed directly from Chokma-Binah (wisdom-understanding) and Chesed-Geburah (Mercy-Severity).

If you were a student of the Human Auric field and the Chakras, you' know Kether as the Crown Chakra ( Sahasrara chakra), and Tiphareth as the Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura chakra).

Tiphareth dominates the lower Sephiroth of the Tree of Life, as it is balanced both vertically and horizontally, giving it Supremacy over physical life. Tiphareth is also known as Beauty-the Christ/Buddha-Consciousness.

As a planetary influence, Tiphareth represents the Sun, as a theosophical concept, Tiphareth is the theological Son who represents consciousness in its most balance and harmonized form.  The Son is an interpretation of the Father in mind and form, rather than just idea.

The Six of Wands-Victory, is the conclusion of the outburst of violent energy generated by the Five-Strife. and the battle is won. However, there is a certain instability displayed here, because of the violent outburst of energy applied causing the "pendulum" of motion to swing high, and soon it will drop into fast downfall. Leading to the 7 of Wands-Valour, where energy is at its last gasp.

However, for now, the Thoth 6 of Wands- Victory is a joyful card, expansive and warm, a symbol of deep personal creative power, Self confidence, balanced leadership and joy.

Were the fours were closed and guarded, that was broken up by the five and the resulting marriage has resulted in self-supporting, stabilization, reception and reflection. When the established conformity of the 4 is broken up by the frustration and anxiety of the 5, the creative union of 4's and 5's results in a dynamic motion of creative power that results in a personal victory of empowerment.

The 4 of Wands represents a powerful energy/spiritual victory that is represented on all four states of consciousness  (represented by the four diamonds): Super-conscious (Whole Psyche of Spirit), individual unconscious, conscious and the self-conscious of personality.

Therefore, the Victory is that You are in the

and have the whole Mind, on both the visible and invisible (both sides of the mirror) and are walking on the rare path of Spiritual, Mental and Physical union towards one vision. Astrologically, this is  Jupiter in Leo stating that victory such as this, is expansive and fluid (Jupiter) and highly creative (Leo). We feel good ! 

shows victory as a wreathed Wand and laurel crown on the man's head.

The Red Sun, implies that this is a element of Fire card.

The personal gathering of the wands, shows that through continued effort, the victory is yours.  So have faith, you can win.
