The document compares the Thoth Tarot card The Sun (Key 19) to the corresponding card in the Shadow Tarot deck called Rafiflu (Path 30). The Sun card represents collaboration, teamwork, and partnership, as well as the life force within us all. It depicts twins dancing and the inner balance of male and female energies. All signs of the zodiac around the Sun show how we bring exuberance to relationships and groups. In the Qabalistic Tarot, The Sun corresponds to the Hebrew letter Resh, meaning head. It rises above lower thoughts and links personalities across incarnations as the 30th Path. The Sun assembles the personality through intellectual qualities like light and

2. Thoth Tarot Deck:
Key 19-THE SUN:
The Principle of Collaboration, Teamwork, and
Partnership.
Give forth thy light to all without doubt; the clouds and
shadows are no matter for thee. Make Speech and Silence,
Energy and Stillness, twin forms of they play.
-Crowley
The Sun represents
the Life Force that awaits expression within us all. The
twins dancing on the green mountain of creation, symbolize
the inner dance of male (electric) and female (magnetic)
energy that is dancing in us all. The dancing gods of Shakti
(Goddess) and Shiva (God) that are the rhythm of Life's
heart beat. All the signs of the zodiac that encompass the
Sun, show that we bring exuberance and consistency to the

3. dance of two (one on one relationships) as well as to group
or organizational settings.
The orange band
around the Sun represents the implementing of a shared
vision which is the purpose of Teamwork and Partnership.
Therefore, Creation is a form of play and exploration and it
is the Divine Child within us that is always seeking to
express itself in unlimited ways. We are infinite beings,
children of Goddess/God-Divine Creative and can never
grow old. We are the manifested Joy of Creation who has
come to dance amongst creation as a joyful expression of I
AM ME! We are both magnetic and dynamic and we are a
"self experiment" that cannot be made by anyone else . It is
time to remember that if we are good enough for the Divine
Creative to create as a Self Image, then we are good enough
for any damn person!

4. The Qabalistic Tarot
Key 19 the Sun represents The Hebrew
letter Resh, meaning-Head. Thus the Head is seen as the
Sun of the Body. It is the Head-Sun that rises above the
Earth and the lower thoughts of the survival thinking.
The Sun, is cited as the Thirtieth Path and/orthe
Collective Intelligence, and is the Day-side card of The
Thirtieth Night-Side Path-The Shadow Tarot-Rafliflu. In
Paul Foster Case's Tarot instruction called, The Thirty Two
Paths of Wisdom,The Collective Intelligence of the Sun (
Son) exercises control over the 12 signs of the zodiac ( 12
guideposts of Personality), shown on this Thoth card by the
12 rays radiating outward from the central orb. The Sun-
Path of Resh, is also a link between the personalities that

5. have been experienced in different incarnations.
The Path of Resh, is the first of the Personality
triad of paths, rising on the Tree of Life, from Yesod
(foundation) to Hod (splendor). The encountering
student, will experience the intellectual-formative side
of this conscious energy as an activating force of the
Personality.
Just as the Higher Self
and the Spiritual Self are composites of the masculine-
intuitive dynamic,Yod and a feminine-Intellectual-
formative, Heh, that together combine opposing forces,
producing a set of equalized forces called Vau, so does The
Path of Resh. All of this is explained in greater detail in my
class reference book by Robert Wang: THE QABALISTIC
TAROT (a text book of Mystical philosophies). For now,
suffice it to say that The Sun-collective, assembles all the

6. component parts of the Personality on these lower paths, by
infusing them with "light and Warmth" which are
considered intellectual qualities. Thus the Path of the Sun
(Resh) is considered the highest level of human
intellect, as The Star-Key 17, is considered the highest path
of human emotions.
What may be curious to the discerning student of Tarot,
is that when you combine The Sun 's high intellect with the
high emotion of The Star card, the balanced effected is
represented by The Tower-key 16, which at first glance
seems the opposite of balance, if not out right chaos.
However, what we are witnessing here, is the destruction of
the unworthy elements of the "man-made personality", so
that the Sun (son) Solar Personality/Logos is free to arise to
its Source.
