78. The Greater One of the Night of Time. / ת / Saturn（“Book T”）
“Tabulated Rules”
The matter itself. Synthesis. World. Kingdom. Usually denotes the actual subject of the question, and therefore depends entirely on the accompanying cards.
《PKT》
Assured success, recompense, voyage, route, emigration, flight, change of place.
(Reverse) Inertia, fixity, stagnation, permanence.
“A Manual of Cartomancy”
“The Quest of the Golden Stairs”
A Sphere of Still Reality—the Holy Gate, gathering, union, manifestation, closing, valediction, ending, timelessness: “The end is seen in vision: the vision becomes the end” (Quest, 167).
“Steps to the Crown”
This notwithstanding, her reticence, her secrecy, her essential love of mystery and recurring hint of the unknown, are the real fascinations of Nature. Her scientific study is part of the curse of our unrest. She is properly speaking, the material of divination. Geomancy is more profitable than geography, and astrology is superior to astronomy. But this is said by way of paradox, and carries with it a second meaning.

“The Tarot Trumps”
Observe that this represents not the World but the Universe. It should be remembered that to the ancients, Saturn represented the confines of the Solar system. They had no means of measuring either Uranus or Neptune. To them, therefore, Saturn passing through the spiral path of the
Zodiac, marked at its cardinal points by the symbols of the Kerubim forming the Cross, was a comprehensive glyph of the whole.
Thus, in this card we find a synthesis of the whole Taro or Rota. The central figure should be taken as Hathor, Athor, or Ator, rather than Isis, thus indicating the hidden anagram which may perhaps be translated thus: ORAT — man prays. ATOR — to the Great Mother. TARO — who turns. ROTA — the wheel of Life and Death.
The colours like those of the Wheel of Fortune include the colours of the Spectrum and those of the elements, but they are placed against the indigo and black of a Saturn, with the white gleam of the Stars shining in the darkness and the misty figure of the Aimah Elohim in the midst. In the practical Tarot, this card is taken to signify the matter in hand, that is the subject of any question that has been asked.
《PKT》
As this final message of the Major Trumps is unchanged—and indeed unchangeable —in respect of its design, it has been partly described already (in the Part 1 of “The Pictorial Key to the Tarot”) regarding its deeper sense. It represents also the perfection and end of the Cosmos, the secret which is within it, the rapture of the universe when it understands itself in God. It is further the state of the soul in the consciousness of Divine Vision, reflected from the self-knowing spirit. But these meanings are without prejudice to that which I have said concerning it on the material side.
It has more than one message on the macrocosmic side and is, for example, the state of the restored world when the law of manifestation shall have been carried to the highest degree of natural perfection. But it is perhaps more especially a story of the past, referring to that day when all was declared to be good, when the morning stars sang together and all the Sons of God shouted for joy (Job 38:7). One of the worst explanations concerning it is that the figure symbolizes the Magus when he has reached the highest degree of initiation; another account (Dr. Papus) says that it represents the absolute, which is ridiculous. The figure has been said to stand for Truth, which is, however, more properly allocated to the seventeenth card. Lastly, it has been called the Crown of the Magi (by Éliphas Lévi).
