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: Lecabel holds the first five, Vasariah the last.
The image of the face
A woman, and a man carrying full bags beside her.
A face of going forth and rejoicing, of gain and of loss borne with weakness.
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
Earth climbs. Under this face Jupiter graces the goat's ascent, and change turns harmonious — two fortunes juggled without dropping either.
