I've been reading this comic book series based on Sodom and Gommorah, and the Golden Dawn [the creator himself is a practicing member, surprise surprise]. The creator frequently uses tarot cards to explain characters motives, situations, outcomes, etc.
I was wondering, can anyone decode the cards used to describe the characters? [I read tarot cards myself, though I focus more on personal relationships; never really used it to foretell someone's fate]
Oh, the creator appears to use the Thoth deck [or some variation of it]
Main Hero [i.e. the Archangel Raphael] is: The Fool, Ace of Swords [In that order]
Main Villain [i.e. the fallen angel Asmodeus - in Gnostic texts, he unleashed the demon Abaddon upon S&G] is: Wheel of Fate, Devil, & Death?[a man, likely Thoth, holding a caduceus & a scythe in the moonlight]
Misguided Villian [i.e. fallen angel Samael, Asmodeus' son/apprentice] is: Nine of Swords,Tower, Hangman-Reverse, Knight of Swords? [A warrior stabbing, like, a snake, with a sword. resembles a saint Margret painting or something]
Anti-Hero [Fallen angel Uriel]: Two of Swords, King of Swords, Hangman, Chariot, Lovers [in this order]
Scarlet Woman[Lilith/Hekate/Woman Clothed w/ the Sun] - is paired with Samael]: Strength, reverse Empress, 2 of Wands, 9 of Swords
My interpretation: Since Hekate is the Scarlet Woman, she's probably gonna be sacrificed or something [trade her soul for Abaddon?] However, Samael seems to love her, I think perhaps he'll sacrifice himself to prevent her death. [well, we can't have them go around creating Nephilim offspring, now can we?]
I also think the Hero will start to comprehend that God allows evil things to happen for a reason; & will begin to lead the misguided souls away from evil, instead of confronting evil directly. [ex. instead of punching the lights out of Asmodeus]. Raphael seems a bit immature, compared to his depiction in the Book of Tobit - I guess he'll grow up/become a better angel?
- Now, if only the Bible had detailed panels of Angels kicking demon arse.... [well, I guess that's what Illuminated Manuscripts are for]
