Read this card in a ritual Draw it from your own deck

Upright

You have the power to steer the situation: take the initiative with determination and a clear vision.

At first sight

Personal power, courage, the ability to assert yourself and to lead. It points to ambitious projects and the strength to carry them out, with a possible streak of hardness.

Within you

Will in its purest and most combative form: the confidence that you can bend circumstances. It asks you to tell strength apart from overbearing force.

On the path

Fire in Chokmah, Wisdom as dynamic energy, with Mars in his own house of Aries in the first decan: fire at its most ardent and virile. Dominion is the will asserting itself before any form, pure directive power.

The shadow

Ill-dignified, it signals obstinacy, bullying, violence, strength squandered in pointless battles.

Reversed

In the Thoth tradition a reversed card is read through its dignity with the neighbouring cards; this is its shadow side.

Strength without direction, or frustrated; power conflicts, impatience, held-back aggression looking for an outlet.

In love, work and spirit

Love. Dominant passion and a desire to conquer; take care not to overpower the other person.

Work. Leadership, initiative, bold projects; a position of command to be managed with balance.

Spirit. Learning to direct your own force instead of being directed by it.

Crowley's note

In the Thoth deck two crossed Tibetan dorjes, thunderbolts of the will, discharge flames and end in serpent heads: the power to destroy in order to create.
