I don't study the meaning of any structure at great historical depth, but Michael got me wondering (so here I am, perhaps Foolishly wandering) about Justice/Strength. Here is what I would like to know, as originally posted in the personality thread:
So... I'm just wondering. Why did Waite decide to keep Alpha-Omega over top the lady's head in Strength if he was going to strip it from Justice and switch them around?
The numbering actually makes more sense with Crowley, and if you re-order the cards by a different pattern. That is: Magician (1), Strength (11), World (21). All the ones are in the final position... keeping alpha/omega with Lust. Alpha part (Magician), Omega part (Strength) and continuity/the whole (World).
