Symbols
In the Book T design
A lion draws the chariot; the figure carries a torch and wears a winged lion crest.
Book T (1912) · printed p. 160 ↗Two accounts
Book T: King of Wands.
Thoth: Prince of Wands.
Book T’s p. 159 footnote distinguishes the mounted father from the charioted son: its card headings call them Knight and King. Thoth calls them Knight and Prince. Read the figure and elemental role before equating court names across decks.
