Princess of Disks

A pregnant young woman with ram's horns for a crest stands in a grove of bare trees, holding a diamond-tipped sceptre and a disk marked with the yin-yang; she is looking down at the disk with concentration.

The final Heh of the final Heh: Earth of Earth, the last card of the descent and the point where the cycle turns back to the Ace of Wands. She is the throne of the Ace of Disks and rules the quadrant of the earth called Europe and Africa. Crowley's hexagram, 52, the doubled mountain, is stillness, and he calls her the card of the Great Work about to be accomplished.

The Princesses rule no decans. Each holds the throne of her suit's Ace and governs one quadrant of the earth, counted from the meridian of the Great Pyramid, and the corresponding quadrant of the heavens around the North Pole.

Crowley builds each court's hexagram from two trigrams, the suit below and the rank above: Disks give Mountain, Princesss give Mountain. The result is hexagram 52, Kên, Keeping Still (Mountain over Mountain). See I Ching and the courts.

Sensation embodied absolutely: the fact itself, carrying the seed of the next thing. As an inner figure, the anima as the earth that will bear. The four ranks are often read as the four ways the suit's function can be lived: the Knight extraverted and initiating, the Queen introverted and sustaining, the Prince as its intellectual form, the Princess as its embodied form.

This card corresponds to the Rider-Waite Page of Pentacles. Crowley renamed the ranks to follow the letters of the Name: Knight (Yod), Queen (Heh), Prince (Vau), Princess (final Heh), so that the Thoth Knight is the Waite King and the Thoth Prince the Waite Knight. The figures' mounts follow the Golden Dawn: Knights on horses, Queens on thrones, Princes in chariots, Princesses on foot.
