Lemniscates in the RWS...

Shaymus

It's easy to see them on the Magician, Strength and 2 of Pentacles cards, but has anyone noticed the other two? (I don't want to say right now, as I'm sure you'll want to look for yourself, if you haven't already found them).

I just realized they were there.

Shaymus

Yes! I hadn't noticed that they form that pattern until a few days ago. Did you notice them before now?

Two of cups: the end of the black handle

The Star: some Stones (or leaves?) on the ground

And a brown melting one (Like Salvador Dalis clocks) on the shoulder of the man in Nine of pentacles

Im embarassed to ask... but...
What are lemniscates??
 

Shaymus

They are those shapes that look like the number 8 on its side, such as what appears above the heads of the Magician and of the woman portrayed on the Strength card.

Also, lemniscates indicate an energetic that is ALWAYS present. For instance in The Magician.... we are always using The Magician archetype.... for good or ill we are always creating... a meal, a job, a family, a situation...
It is something that is NEVER turned off. At best we can only have the illusuion that the energetic is turned off.
