The two angels of the face
In the Shem ha-Mephorash — the 72-fold name drawn letter by letter from Exodus — two angels keep each face, one for each half of its ten degrees: Hahasiah holds the first five, Imamiah the last.
The image of the face
A woman robed in red over a white garment that spreads to her feet — the ember wrapped around the untouched flame.
This face was held to signify nobility, the height of a kingdom, and greatness of dominion.
Image and signification after Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa, Three Books of Occult Philosophy, book II ch. 37 (1533; English 1651), a lineage descending through the Latin Picatrix. Card titles quoted from the Golden Dawn’s Book T (1888). All sources rest in the public domain.
Under this face
Fire steadies into rule. What was seized in the first face is now ordered, crowned, and made to last — strength established rather than spent.
