===[[Book of Power]]===

Not sure about this: "(The Sun; the conquest of initiating light.) When light dawns in the spirit Hiram is found again, deep in a sleep from which the Masters must wake him. They assemble for this purpose in order to pool their intelligence and affection. Hiram is revived because his thought finds a new expression (his lost power of speech returned to him) and because his constructive aspirations animate all hearts."<Ref>Wirth, Oswald. Tarot of the Magicians: The Occult Symbols of the Major Arcana That Inspired Modern Tarot. San Francisco. CA: Weiser Books, 1990. p. 172.</ref>

===[[Book of Slavery]]===

Fool in School: A.E. Waite perhaps says it best. Through alchemical grinding and experiential titration we mature, grow, and evolve until one day,  the “self-knowing spirit [dawns] in the consciousness above the natural mind.” On that day, the “ mind...leads forth the animal nature in a state of perfect conformity”.<ref>Waite, Arthur Edward. The Pictorial Key to the Tarot: Being Fragments of a Secret Tradition Under the Veil of Divination. London: Rider, 1911.</ref> On that day, the pail, blond, blue chosen are born.

"The two children symbolize the two creative fluids, positive and negative, of the new creature."<ref>Papus, The Tarot of the Bohemians (Wilshire Book Co, 1978), https://sacred-texts.com/tarot/tob/index.htm. p. 148.</ref>

"If you are going through a difficult time, the Sun brings you the message you have been waiting for: that things will get better, a lot better! ''Through the challenges along your path,'' you discovered who you are and why you’re here."<ref>———. “Judgement Tarot Card Meanings.” Biddy Tarot (blog), 2020. https://www.biddytarot.com/tarot-card-meanings/major-arcana/judgement/.</ref>

"The hero has successfully withstood the allure of the lunar night and has won through to the sunlit garden beyond. " Fool in School: <ref> Douglas, Alfred. The Tarot: The Origins, Meaning, and Uses of the Cards. Canada: Penguin Books, 1991. p. 109.</ref>
