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

Upright

Persevere with patience: steady work leads to a concrete and secure harvest.

At first sight

A practical, hard-working and reliable person, tied to the land and to tangible results; or a long piece of work that reaches its harvest. It points to effort well spent, constancy and prudence.

Within you

Energy put at the service of concreteness: the ability to work stubbornly to nourish yourself and others, at the cost of seeming slow or dull.

On the path

Fire of Earth, the Yod of the final He, referred to Chokmah: the warmth that makes things germinate, the force of mountains and earthquakes. He rules from 21° Leo to 20° Virgo, where solar vigour places itself at the service of the reaping.

The shadow

Ill-dignified, he is miserly, dull, jealous of what is his, shut in a labour without horizon.

Reversed

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

Slowness that becomes inertia, stubbornness, materialism; or effort that reaps nothing for lack of vision.

In love, work and spirit

Love. A faithful and concrete partner, not very romantic but present and protective.

Work. Agricultural, craft or managerial work; long projects that demand tenacity.

Spirit. Working the earth as prayer: the cycle of sowing and harvest as a path.

Crowley's note

The Knight of the Thoth deck rides a heavy draught horse, helmet lowered and a flail in hand, in a field of ripe wheat: strength in the service of the reaping.
