Book T: Lord of Peace Restored.
A settlement follows pain or conflict, but tension can remain beneath the reconciliation. The account combines sympathy and fairness with the possibility that an old offence will recur.
Thoth: Two of Swords.
Book T’s title is shown separately from the Thoth name. The symbol note below describes the 1912 text, whose design can differ from Harris’s painting.
