The Gates -- 18

Bright -- The Horned One
This mirror is related to the constellation of the Scorpion, the element of Wood and the year count token of the Hare.

This is an image of the male priesthood: spiritual energy brought into the world in service to the community (as opposed to the mage, who does his work for himself and for the work's own sake). He is the dancer whose dance joins the human to the non-human, an image of tantric force, invoking the Trickster -- the spring, summer, and autumn forces, life force without control -- on behalf of the community. This image corresponds very loosely to the Devil of the Tarot.
