VI The Lovers

Qualities: Self-Love, Choice, Duality

The wolf represents the Lovers, a marrying of opposites and harmonious marrying of that which seems at odds. The wolf chooses between being the lone wolf, who doesn’t want to make bad choices, is abandoned, and is fearful of being found out, while the pack wolf who knows everyone is as “limited” as they are, but knows they still have something to offer the pack at large. The pack wolf marries their earthly body with their soul body, while the lone wolf rejects their duality. The Lovers demand equilibrium and authenticity, emphasizing the need to cultivate a rich, stable personal foundation, unification, and fulfillment prior to embarking on any union. Self-love is the highest form of self-discipline. The shadow of this card indicates that you are acting in a way that is incongruent with yourself which leads to self-betrayal. In this bath, based of James Turrell’s Perceptual Cells, you are given the choice for a slow-moving light show experience or a fast, intense light show that creates fractals in your mind based on your eye’s physiology.

VII The Chariot

Qualities: Energy, Confidence, Fortitude

The swan represents the chariot, the personification of determination and conquest over adversity. This card is active, requiring commitment and discipline to move forward with manifestation of its goals. The chariot does not shy away from a challenge, knowing that to get out one must first go in, meeting obstacles with both fortitude and finesse. The chariot balances mercy and justice. When in alignment the inner and outer lives reflect one another; as within so without. The high vibration swan is armored with choice, with honoring their Agni, their fire. When out of balance, the swan doubts itself and their inner and outer worlds are incongruent. This is an invitation to alchemize the self, to take a pause to recede and replenish, to then go back out in the world with a fervor. The bath is designed based on the alchemical symbol of the philosopher’s stone, representing the journey towards self-realization and the attainment of spiritual enlightenment. Through the process of inner transformation, one can attain a state of consciousness that transcends the limitations of the ego and connects with a higher source of wisdom and understanding. The swan is known for its grace, beauty, and ability to discern between good and evil.

As a symbol for Saraswathi, the swan represents purity, creativity, spiritual enlightenment, and discrimination. LIGHT

IIX Strength / Justice

Qualities: Courage, Perseverance, Steadiness

The elephant is representative of Strength or Justice, depending on which deck you use. Strength represents bravery in the face of adversity, while justice knows that every action has a reaction and a consequence. The elephant is a well of fortitude and power in times of distress and wishes to bring about balance through a search for justice. At a high vibration she’s in control of the Self because she has explored her inner wilderness. When her inner power is aligned, she knows what times call for the sword to be drawn and what times call for pause, non-action. Her stamina is matched by her stillness, balanced by her composure. At a low consciousness she is fearful, in hiding, and is unwilling to act. Take this moment to pause, to nurture your inner child and recognize the depth of your resilience and goodness. Choose empowerment, choose your power, and know that by doing so, you can leave the world in a better place than how you found it.
