Waite–Smith, Trump 21
The World
What you can see
A lightly draped figure holds two short wands inside an oval wreath. A human face, eagle, lion and bull occupy the four corners.
What Waite says
Waite speaks of cosmic fulfilment, restored creation and the soul’s divine vision. He rejects identifying the figure simply as an initiated Magician or as an image of the Absolute.
