ATU XXI Le Monde
The Great One of the Night of Time
Le Monde
The Great One of the Night of Time
This card, which card makers called the World, because they regarded it as the origin of all, represents Time.
In the center is the goddess of Time, with her veil which flies, and which serves her as a belt or peplum, as the ancients called it. She is in a posture to run like time, and in a circle which represents the revolutions of time; as well as the egg where all exists in time.
At the four corners of the card are the symbols of the four seasons, which form the revolutions of the year, the same which make up the four heads of the Kerubim.
These emblems are, The Eagle, the Lion, the Ox, and the Young Man:
The Eagle represents spring, when the birds return.
The Lion, the summer or burning of the Sun.
The Ox, the autumn when one plows and when one sows.
The Young Man, the winter, when one meets in company.
