Nine of Swords

Our Lady of Fatima, the Dancing Sun - 9 of Swords
Tarot Deck of the Mysteries of Mary

The entire ancient world, from Asia Minor to the Nile

and from Greece to the Indus Valley, abounds in figurines

of the naked female form, in various attitudes of the 

all-supporting, all-including Goddess ......

and so it came to pass that, in the end and to our day,

Mary, Queen of Martyrs, became the sole inheritor

of all the names and forms, sorrows, joys and

consolations, of the Goddess-Mother

in the Western world;  

Seat of Wisdom Vessel of Honour, Mystical Rose,

House of Gold, Gate of Heaven, Morning Star,

Refuge of Sinners, Queen of Angels,

Queen of Peace
