I вЂ“ The Magician: Symbolizes the masculine creative urge, embodied in the phallic wand, which generates the initial spark or big bang. But for simplicityвЂ™s sake, I will only provide a brief summary of each card and its occult significance according to this book.Д вЂ“ The Fool: Symbolizes the nothingness or quantum void from which time and space are formed. Now, the explanation of each card and its symbolic connection to the evolution of being also includes many references to science, genetics, mysticism, numerology, kabbalah, etc. The twin serpents explain the occult history of humanity and all existence through the symbols of the 22 tarot cards that comprise the Major Arcana. So she consults the two snakes that form the Caduceus, or the staff of Hermes. In this chapter, Promethea, having studied the occult texts provided to her by Faust, realizes she has learned all she can about magick from reading and must now move into experiential learning. So now I will attempt to give a very high-level summary of Chapter 6, the final chapter in the book. The sheer amount of literary and visual symbolism on just a single page could spawn a lengthy analytical post. Just to provide a sense of just how much is woven in, there are references to Aleister Crowley, Eliaphas Levi, the Goetia, Faust, the Vedic texts, kundalini, tantric yoga, kabbalah, tarot, alternate planes of existence, and the list goes on. But like YeatsвЂ™ widening gyres, Moore expands on the myth by incorporating a plethora of allusions to occult philosophies and then ties them all together, showing the connection between the philosophies and myths throughout the millennia. This alone is a wonderful interpretation of the myth, about the bringing of enlightenment (symbolized by fire) to humankind. Moore draws from a wealth of mythology and occult philosophy in the creation of Promethea, who is essentially the divine feminine manifestation of the Prometheus myth. I figure I will lightly touch on some of the themes and ideas that are incorporated into this work, and then elaborate on one chapter that demonstrates the complexity of this book. There is so much occult philosophy embedded in these pages, itвЂ™s impossible to do it justice in a short blog post, but I will try. I have never seen such complex mystical ideas expressed so clearly and beautifully, both through the text and the illustrations. When I finished the last page, it was like a nuclear explosion of consciousness went off within my psyche. This is a book that has completely blown me away. IвЂ™ve read a lot of books in my lifetime, so being completely blown away by a book has become a somewhat rare occurrence for me. Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you have an inspiring day. This is the true transformative power of art and it is why I read, and listen to new music, and watch films, and go to museums to see paintings. When you read that poem or book that changes your view of the world, or hear that song or see that film that opens up a whole new universe of possibilities. I have felt this way in my life, as I am sure most of you have too. I really relate to KeatsвЂ™ emotions in this poem. He describes his feeling as standing upon a mountain in Darien (which is in Panama), and gazing out in awe at a new ocean, which symbolizes the vast depths of new and unexplored poetic inspiration. He then compares himself to Cortez and uses the phrase вЂњeagle eyesвЂќ to represent his new-found clarity of vision. He first makes an allusion to William HerschelвЂ™s discovery of Uranus in 1781, an entire world which was previously unknown. The last six lines follow an ABABAB scheme and describe how Keats became aware of realms he never knew existed. These were beautiful poems and worthy of Apollo, the god of poetry, but after reading Homer, his entire view on poetry changes, symbolized by the shift in rhyme pattern in the second half. He describes having visited вЂњrealms of goldвЂќ and вЂњwestern islands.вЂќ These are metaphors for the poems that he had read up until that time. The first eight lines comprise the first section which follows an ABBA pattern. The poem is broken into two parts, and each section has a different rhyme scheme. This is considered to be KeatsвЂ™ first great sonnet, which was composed after reading a translation of Homer by George Chapman, an Elizabethan poet (source: English Romantic Writers). LookвЂ™d at each other with a wild surmise. Or like stout Cortez when with eagle eyes Then felt I like some watcher of the skies Till I heard Chapman speak out loud and bold: That deep-browвЂ™d Homer ruled as his demesne Much have I travellвЂ™d in the realms of gold,ДЄnd many goodly states and kingdoms seen
