Is she prying the mouth open or closing it? Either way she has subdued the beast which is sprouting from her loins like a wild hairy phallus. She braces it deliberately with her vulvic biceps. Her figure 8 crown calls back to the Magician and serves as an intellectual extension of the convulsing waves of infinity from the Wheel of Fortune. The feathers in her hair represent the Air element and suit of swords (intellect). The mountain reiterates the alchemical work present in the Lovers card: the highest achievement by virtue of fearlessness and discernment.<\/p>\n<p>In a way this is the power of the rational mind overcoming the untamed Action emerging from the abyss.<\/p>\n<p>6 toes (below) + 6 teeth (horizon) + 6 aspects to her crown and planes of energetic emanation (above). This shows the flow of energy up and down. 6 (the Lover) + 6 (=12 the Hanged Man) + 6 (=18 the Moon. Values to chew on if you like.<\/p>\n<p><strong>NOTE: I need to revise this image slightly and add either one or two more energy layers above her crown to make the 6+6+6 idea work more clearly.
