Texto original de Waite (1911)

Simbolismo interior (original)

The distinction between this card and some of the conventional types is that the moon is increasing on what is called the side of mercy, to the right of the observer. It has sixteen chief and sixteen secondary rays. The card represents life of the imagination apart from life of the spirit. The path between the towers is the issue into the unknown. The dog and the wolf are the fears of the natural mind in the presence of that place of exit, when there is only reflected light to guide it.

The last reference is a key to another form of symbolism. The intellectual light is a reflection and beyond it is the unknown mystery which it cannot show forth. It illuminates our animal nature, types of which are represented below—the dog, the wolf and that which comes up out of the deeps, the nameless and hideous tendency which is lower than the savage beast. It strives to attain manifestation, symbolized by crawling from the abyss of water to the land, but as a rule it sinks back whence it came. The face of the mind directs a calm gaze upon the unrest below; the dew of thought falls; the message is: Peace, be still; and it may be that there shall come a calm upon the animal nature, while the abyss beneath shall cease from giving up a form.

Significado original del derecho

Hidden enemies, danger, calumny, darkness, terror, deception, occult forces, error.

Significado original invertido

Instability, inconstancy, silence, lesser degrees of deception and error.

Waite fixes it as the life of the imagination apart from the life of the spirit. The moon goddesses were attached later.

Documented imagery

Attested by surviving objects or texts

Two towers, two dogs, a crayfish — all already in the older decks

A path running between two towers, two canines howling, a crayfish crawling out of the water: this configuration was already settled on the Marseille cards, and Waite kept it substantially as it was. The one difference he points out himself is that the moon is waxing on "the side of mercy" (the viewer's right), and that it has sixteen chief and sixteen secondary rays. The image on this card, in other words, comes from the deck's own tradition, not from any mythological text.

Esoteric correspondence

A sourced traditional claim, but constructed inside an occult system

He files this card under imagination, not the unconscious

Waite settles it in a single sentence: the card "represents life of the imagination apart from life of the spirit." The path between the towers is the "issue into the unknown," the dog and the wolf are "the fears of the natural mind" before that issue, and the light of reason is only reflected light, falling on our animal nature. Note the words he uses — imagination and reason, not the unconscious. That vocabulary does not arrive until the twentieth century.

Pisces and the thing crawling out of the water

The Golden Dawn assigns the Moon to Pisces (Hebrew letter Qoph). Water, boundaries that will not hold, something rising from the depths — this correspondence locks tightly onto the crayfish climbing out of the pool on the card.

Hecate and the "shadow": two layers of modern addition

Connecting this card to Hecate or to a triple moon goddess is common practice in modern teaching material; reading it as the Jungian shadow, or as unconscious material, is later still. Both are useful in a reading, but what Waite wrote was imagination and reflected light — and the triple goddess frame itself comes from Graves' The White Goddess of 1948, five hundred years younger than the card.
