Waite–Smith, Trump 8
Strength
What you can see
A flower-crowned figure bends over a lion, with both hands at its jaws. A horizontal loop appears above her head, and flowers encircle her waist.
What Waite says
Waite connects fortitude with contemplation and the higher nature’s relation to the passions. He explicitly places Strength at VIII and Justice at XI here, while declining to explain his reason for the exchange.
