The Banner and the veil of justice.

Waite seems to have gotten the idea from Levi, who in turn got it from older tarot cards.
In Dogma et Rituel de la Haute Magie, Levi wrote "Other Tarots substitute a spinner unwinding destinies, and yet others a naked child mounted on a white horse and displaying a scarlet standard."
This great, in his time, misunderstood, Mr Constant, speaks of a scarlet banner. Eliphas Levi was a great visionair. He predicted everything we only know now,by scientific research, what seems to make us more sure than thousands of years hermetic research, onehundred and fifty years later. Quantum Theory is based on sayings of Levi for example. He predicted Light in Night, Warmth in Cold, Cold in Warmth long before it existed. He predicted the one side of the world could communicate with the other site.
When Levi, (And Case, and Waite, And Crowley), and, and, should live in this time Levi predicted, they should be able, grasp info in a Eye-blink. What should these great minds than would be able to, i wonder......
The flag of the SunChild of the RWS is Red. I think the flag should be as scarlet as the veil of Lady Justice or to put it better, this veil should be as scarlet as the flag of the Sun. The Veil is torned away. Nothing is veiled anymore. The SunCild is showing this victory of unveiling the mysteries of life and death by his banner, which should be scarlet as Mr Levi says.....
