III - The Queen


The third glyph is named The Queen, but also features Horus - the son of Isis and Osiris. The Queen being Nature and Horus bieng the Spirit. The art of the image suggests an interaction between Nature itself and the realm of the Spirit. Generally, it can be said that the image represents the feminin aspect of fertility and all that binds the spititual and physical. Think of the first image (I - Absolute Activum) as Osiris - thought; the second image (II - High Priestess) as Isis - the word; and the third image (III - The Queen) as Horus - the spirit.
Symbolic points of The Queen:
* Horus is positioned on the rocks as if to take flight upwards toward the Sun as opposed to flying forward as is often assumed by those for whom going onward is actually a step backward; for the All develops upward in great turning spirals and anything that opposes this upward movement is destroyed.
* The rocks and flowers below Horus represent the evolution of lifeforms which begin primatively upon the face of mineral stones in the water and evolve upward to plant and animal lifeforms and still further to man.
* The Queen is wearing a diadem with twelve stars in it upon her head and the Sun just beneath.
* Her wand is a scepter ending in a spherical representation of Earth.
