Wow,
There's a lot of things going on in this thread!
Regarding the High Priestess, look at where the sphere on her crown is located. Exactly were Daath would be! Also, the cross over her heart correlates to Tipheret. The significance of these two correspondences is far beyond the scope of this thread. (and my limited experience!)
This one's a little too obvious but the 10 of pentacles has the coins arranged in the tree of life.
"I find the creature on the two of cups resembling one of the creatures from the Book of Revelation. A lions head with the wings of an eagle."
Read Crowley's explanation for this symbol and the two of cups will make a lot more sense.
" Can anyone explain if the red feathers in 0-The Fool, 13-Death and 19-The Sun have any symbolic meaning?"
I read somewhere that the feather on The Fool and The Sun represents Uraeus, the cobra found on the headress of Egyptian royality. Symbolizing spiritual enlightenment and protection from harm. That definition seems to fit those two cards well. About the one on the Death card, I don't know, to paraphrase Freud, maybe sometimes a feather is just a feather
The Nine of Pentacles, for me, is about patience. Slow and steady wins the race. The snail, trained bird and grape vines symbolize this. I've never trained a bird before but just teaching a dog to sit requires a lot of patience! I just thought of something else. What do you do to grape vines? You train them!
I guess that's enough for now.
