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: Chavakiah holds the first five, Menadel the last.
The image of the face
A woman chaste in body and wise in her work, and a banker gathering his money on the table.
A face of prudent governing, and of money's tighter grip — avarice waiting inside thrift.
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
The mountain's cold crown. Under this face the Sun winters in the goat's sign and power is made earthly — held, walled, and needing to learn its own weight.
