The Gates -- 19

Bright -- The Lightning
This mirror is related to the constellation the Chinese call the Bow and the West calls Sagittarius, and to the element of wood and the year count token of the Tiger. 

This image is reminiscent of the Tower of the Tarot, but the lightning here is raw Generative force, like the lightning out of a clear sky that pollinates the rice fields according to Japanese legend. It is most dangerous if it is resisted, but can also be a start of great things. Things begin and end. This marks the boundary of death, the end of waiting.
