The Tarot of Eli 2: Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot- Knight of Pentacles & The
Animal Totem Tarot - Knight of Pentacles.

#tarottraditionalqabalahmagickelitarot2strikingly.com

The Rider-Waite-Smith- Knight of Pentacles, focuses on this mundane meaning of enduring, stalwart, and imperturbable character. This medieval knight is stationary, holding a Pentacle in his right hand and holding absolute attention on the Pentacle while firmly seated on his sturdy statue like mount. In the background is a cultivated field implying his contribution to agriculture as a fecund force of growth (bringing forth the vegetation) which suggests the Green Man (Pan of the Greeks), as does the green foliage on both his helm and the charger's bridle. The whole card is bathed in sunlight which suggests summer fertility. Presented here is a deeper esoteric meaning often expressed in Western Hermetic Mysteries and Magick.(go to magickeli.mystrikingly.com for ritual).

🜃 RITUAL OF THE GREEN SPIRAL

Invoking Pan as the Primal Architect of DNA and Earth’s Living Intelligence

The Green Man of the Druids is a god of growing, life, decay and death, the Green Man form represents a godlike fertility of the life force behind all vegetation. Where the Horned God is the spirit that lies within all animals of the wild, the Green Man is the energy of the plant world in its continual cycles. I found a particularly good rendition of The Green Man in the art of the Druid Craft Tarot Deck, of which I have in a blog of Druid Craft Tarot and the Thoth Tarot at my other web and blog site- elitarotstrickingly.com.

This state of Consciousness is known in the Western Hermetic Qabalistic Tarot and Mysteries of Ancient Wisdom as the Prince of Disks and/or the Knight of Pentacles, links with the 6th Sephiroth-Tiphareth on the tree of Life, and represents the Christos, or Buddha consciousness of the "heavenly human" and it brings the body into an ET intelligence interface state of vibratory life force with Earth; a force known as "unconditional Love" of which I postulate as "unconditional life".

When the body channels this State of Energy Conscious that is Tiphareth, the physiological alchemy of the body changes into that of a "magus and/or adept's body" and the body's environment is made more fertile and fecund. However, only through diligent meditative techniques and ritual divination is this conscious state possible to physically experience as one must break all connections with the racial and cultural egregore that resides in the subconscious as a false ego.

According to Paul Foster Case of BOTA fame, when Tiphareth is expressed as the personal consciousness of the physical body, the body goes through a physiological change and is no longer the species homo. Here is presented Horus manifested, or Homo Luminosus and/or the manifestation of the Solar Self.

Paul Foster Case’s assertion that when Tiphareth is fully expressed through personal consciousness, the human body undergoes a profound physiological transformation, can indeed be interpreted as an esoteric insight into a "magus body," or a more spiritually evolved form beyond typical Homo sapiens. Let's deeply explore this through the lens of Western Hermetic Qabalah, modern esoteric biology, and metaphysics.

Hermetic and Qabalistic Foundations:

In the Qabalistic Tree of Life, Tiphareth (תפארת), meaning "Beauty," occupies a central and harmonizing position, symbolizing the Solar Self, the divine consciousness embodied in human form. Alchemically, Tiphareth represents the stage at which the soul and the spirit harmonize, resulting in profound physical, mental, and spiritual transformations.

Paul Foster Case, founder of B.O.T.A. (Builders of the Adytum), emphasized that activating Tiphareth consciousness equates to aligning one’s personal awareness fully with the Higher Self—the Solar Angel or Holy Guardian Angel (Crowley’s parallel concept). Such alignment inherently demands a complete transformation of the personality, a metamorphosis not merely psychological, but also physiological, as the physical body must adapt to accommodate these higher vibrations.

The Physiological Change—A Hermetic Interpretation:

In esoteric tradition, especially within Hermetic Qabalah, the body and consciousness are not separate entities but reflections of one another. When consciousness achieves sustained resonance with Tiphareth, it's suggested that the body itself begins to function at a higher frequency or vibrational rate. Esoterically, this change is often symbolized by alchemical transmutation—turning "lead" (the mundane, base human condition) into "gold" (the spiritually perfected, divine state).

Scientifically speaking, this idea aligns intriguingly with emerging research in epigenetics and quantum biology:

• Epigenetics:
  Modern biology recognizes that genes aren't simply fixed at birth; they're responsive and dynamic, influenced significantly by our environment, mental states, emotions, and spiritual experiences. Profound meditative states altered states of consciousness, and deep mystical experiences have been demonstrated to activate certain genes (often termed "longevity genes," stress-response genes, or neuroplasticity genes) associated with improved physical health, rejuvenation, and potentially extended lifespan. Such epigenetic changes could feasibly be the biological counterpart of the Hermetic alchemical transformation.

• Quantum Biology and Bioenergetics:
  Hermetic traditions also speak about the "Body of Light," a subtle, energetic counterpart of the physical body that becomes more tangible and operative as one ascends spiritually. Modern research in quantum biology suggests that living organisms are quantum coherent systems, sensitive to subtle energetic shifts. Cultivating Tiphareth-level consciousness might stabilize and intensify quantum coherence in biological systems, potentially increasing the body's bioenergetic efficiency, immunity, cellular integrity, and regenerative capabilities.

The Magus Body—Characteristics and Implications:

The term "Magus Body," or "Adept's Body," often used in esoteric traditions, refers to a condition in which the individual's biology is not merely human in a mundane sense, but becomes the vessel of a higher spiritual consciousness. Here are some characteristic features described across Hermetic, Rosicrucian, and alchemical traditions:

1. Increased Neuroplasticity and Cognitive Clarity:
   The nervous system becomes highly refined, supporting enhanced perception, intuition, and spiritual insight. Mental fog and confusion diminish dramatically, replaced by heightened cognitive clarity and expansive awareness.

2. Energetic Coherence and Vitality:
   The body's energetic channels (often called nadis in Eastern systems, akin to subtle "currents" in Western Hermeticism) become purified and aligned. This results in increased physical vitality, resistance to illness, and enhanced capacity for longevity.

3. Cellular Transmutation and Rejuvenation:
   In alchemical terms, the cells begin operating at a higher level of energetic efficiency, essentially extending cellular life, reducing oxidative stress, and possibly reversing or slowing aging. Modern scientific parallels include telomere lengthening and increased stem cell activity, often associated with sustained meditation and mystical experiences.

4. DNA Activation—The Hermetic "Genetic Shift":
   Esoteric teachings have long suggested humans possess latent genetic potential awaiting activation. Paul Foster Case implied that genuine attainment in Tiphareth triggers these latent genes—epigenetic markers or previously inactive sequences (potentially "junk DNA")—facilitating physiological functions that transcend ordinary human limitations.

5. Bio-photon Emission and Light Body Formation:
   Increasing coherence at cellular and quantum levels potentially amplifies bio-photon emissions (ultraweak photon emissions measurable scientifically, correlating to cellular communication and health). Esoterically, this could be considered the visible formation of the "Body of Light," known to mystics and Magi.

The Practical Reality—Achieving the Magus Body:

While historically rare, this condition is not outside modern contemplation. The path involves disciplined meditation, ritual invocation, visualization, breathwork, and consistent alignment with higher consciousness (Tiphareth). Magickal practices—such as those taught by Case, Crowley, and other Hermetic adepts—are explicitly designed to facilitate the integration of Higher and Lower Self, ultimately manifesting the Magus Body.

Forward-thinking Synthesis—A New Human Species?

From a forward-thinking Hermetic viewpoint, achieving the Magus Body marks the evolutionary potential of humanity—a new form, perhaps closer to "Homo Luminosus" (luminous man) or "Homo Magus", rather than merely "Homo Sapiens". This evolution wouldn't require millennia of random mutations, but rather intentional spiritual development and genetic activation through directed consciousness.

This view aligns intriguingly with contemporary transhumanist ideas, albeit from a purely spiritual and biological standpoint rather than technological enhancement. It proposes a future humanity capable of consciously evolving itself through spiritual and psychobiological means, embodying the Hermetic ideal of divine consciousness in physical form.

Conclusion—A Hermetic Vision of Human Evolution:

Thus, Paul Foster Case’s profound insight—that achieving Tiphareth consciousness literally transforms one's physiology—is indeed a vision of an attainable evolutionary leap. Far from being merely poetic or symbolic, it represents a potential blueprint for human evolution, activated by integrating spiritual consciousness into biological reality, thus birthing a new form of humanity, luminous, powerful, and profoundly connected to the Divine within and beyond.

The identification of the Thoth Prince of Disks (Pentacles)or the RWS-Knight of Pentacles as the Green Man and/or Green Woman isn't merely symbolic or mythological—it can indeed indicate a profound physiological and spiritual transformation within the human body, echoing themes related to the "Magus Body" described previously. Let's deeply elucidate this through the lens of Western Hermetic Qabalah, esoteric alchemy, and biological symbology.

Ⅰ. Hermetic Background of the Prince of Disks as Green Man

In Aleister Crowley’s Thoth Tarot, the Prince of Disks embodies the elemental essence of Earth, especially its regenerative, fertile, and creative forces. Crowley explicitly links this Prince with the Green Man, Pan, and the vegetative force inherent in nature. Symbolically, he represents renewal, vitality, growth, and the primal life-force itself—the inherent spirit of Nature that continuously dies and rebirths, thus resonating deeply with Tiphareth’s regenerative solar energies manifested physically.

This connection positions the Prince of Disks as not just a persona or archetype, but as an active force capable of actualizing physical, biological, and spiritual transformation.

Ⅱ. The Green Man Archetype—Physiological & Biological Symbolism

The Green Man is a universal archetype found across ancient cultures, symbolizing natural regeneration, fertility, rebirth, and the unification of humanity with nature. Physiologically and biologically, the Green Man can represent:

① Cellular Regeneration & Longevity

• Hermetic traditions associate the Green Man’s symbolism of perpetual growth and renewal with physical rejuvenation and cellular regeneration.

• In biological terms, this correlates to enhanced cellular repair, extended telomere length (a marker of biological youthfulness), and activation of genes associated with longevity and sustained vitality.

② Enhanced Bioenergetic Flow & Vigor

• The Green Man represents robust vitality, grounding energies, and the seamless integration of spirit and matter. This implies an optimized flow of life-force (prana, chi, or Ruach), significantly boosting physical stamina, immunity, and overall health.

• The body thus becomes like an abundant forest—resilient, self-sustaining, and energetically potent.

③ Hormonal and Neurochemical Changes

• Hermetic magick involving Earth energies (represented by the Green Man) suggests alterations in neurochemistry and hormonal balances, such as increased serotonin, dopamine, and endorphins, fostering feelings of joy, creativity, and groundedness.

• These shifts directly translate to enhanced physical health and emotional stability, laying the groundwork for further spiritual evolution.

Ⅲ. Genetic & Epigenetic Activation—"Green Man Genes"

The physical embodiment of the Green Man in Hermetic Magick may imply a distinct epigenetic activation of latent human potential. Hermetically speaking, humans possess genes which, when spiritually activated, could awaken capabilities analogous to plant life, such as:

• Enhanced Nutrient Absorption: Improved digestive efficiency, maximizing energy extraction from minimal resources, comparable metaphorically to plants' highly efficient nutrient absorption processes.

• Self-Healing Capabilities: Increased regenerative capacity, paralleling plants' innate ability to regrow limbs, roots, or foliage, suggesting metaphorical and perhaps subtle literal biological healing capacities.

• Light and Bioenergetic Integration: Enhanced ability to integrate subtle energies—akin to photosynthesis—strengthening the energy body, potentially enabling greater sensitivity to environmental and spiritual energies.

From a forward-thinking Hermetic perspective, activation of such "Green Man genes" through magickal and spiritual practice could lead to subtle yet real physiological adaptations that profoundly alter human health, longevity, and vitality.

Ⅳ. Alchemical Context—Green Stage of Transformation

In alchemical traditions, the color green (Viriditas) is associated with a crucial transitional phase in spiritual and physical transformation, representing new growth, renewal, and resurrection from decay. Alchemical practitioners understood this green stage as the body’s phase of integration—transforming previous "death" stages (the blackening or Nigredo) into new life and vitality.

Thus, embodying the Prince of Disks/Green Man alchemically signifies moving beyond ordinary human physicality towards a state of harmonious, regenerative unity with nature—exactly aligning with Paul Foster Case's notion of a transformed "Magus Body."

Ⅴ. Modern Scientific Parallels—Practical Hermetic Biology

Bridging Hermetic tradition and modern biology, we find compelling parallels:

• Epigenetic Shifts: Modern epigenetic studies reveal profound physiological transformations triggered by sustained meditation, nature exposure (biophilia), and altered states of consciousness—all key aspects of the Green Man’s Hermetic symbolism.

• Neuroplasticity & Synaptic Growth: Enhanced cognitive function, brain plasticity, and neurological regeneration parallel the expansive, life-enhancing qualities symbolized by the Green Man.

• Mitochondrial Health & Bioenergetics: Improved mitochondrial function—our cellular energy powerhouse—is correlated with practices represented symbolically by Green Man energies: grounding, meditation, deep breathing, and connection with nature's rhythms.

The Thoth Prince of Disks, therefore, becomes a profound esoteric icon for modern practitioners, guiding genuine physiological transformation through intentional spiritual practice and natural alignment.

Ⅵ. Practical Manifestation of the Green Man Physiology

To embody this "Green Man physiology" practically, Hermetic practitioners traditionally employ:

• Earth-Based Rituals: Deep grounding, nature rituals, seasonal rites, and active communion with Earth energies.

• Meditative Visualizations (Pathworking): Specifically using the Prince of Disks as a focal archetype to activate latent regenerative and energetic potentials within.

• Herbal Alchemy: Consumption and interaction with certain herbs or plants to activate physiological processes symbolic of the Green Man archetype (adaptogens, rejuvenating herbs).

• Breathwork & Bioenergetic Practices: Pranayama, Qigong, and other breathing or energetic exercises to enhance energetic coherence, cellular vitality, and physiological resilience.

Ⅶ. Forward-Thinking—Homo Viridis: The Green Magus?

Considering these factors, the physiological transformation symbolized by the Thoth Prince of Disks as Green Man potentially represents a profound evolutionary adaptation. Perhaps the esoteric ideal is not just symbolic, but indicative of an evolutionary path towards a new form of humanity—conceptually termed "Homo Viridis" (Green Human), possessing:

• Greater regenerative and rejuvenative capacities

• Enhanced bioenergetic coherence

• Profound attunement to ecological and cosmic cycles

• Sustained vitality and cognitive clarity into advanced age

Thus, the Green Man archetype is not merely mythological but an encoded vision of humanity’s evolutionary potential through intentional spiritual cultivation, grounding in nature, and epigenetic awakening.

Conclusion—Hermetic Evolutionary Vision

The Thoth Prince of Disks as Green Man exemplifies a deep Hermetic truth: authentic spiritual attainment inherently alters human biology, integrating subtle energetic shifts, genetic activations, and regenerative vitality into tangible physiological changes. The Hermetic path toward embodying the Green Man is thus a genuine blueprint for evolutionary advancement, merging spiritual enlightenment with biological transformation, and offering humanity a luminous path toward holistic, vibrant wholeness.

The traditionally Tarot Knights are called the Prince of the Chariot of Earth. Prince and Emperor of the Gnomes and in the Western Qabalistic Thoth Tarot, they are attributed to the last Decan of Aries and the first two Decan of Taurus. Implying even more unique characteristics applied to this court card.

This Prince-Knight is the Air of Earth and/ or Specific Air of Primal Earth. Hence, they are attributed to the ancient mythology of the Green Man of the Forest.

Last Decan of Aries (April 10–19) - Ruled by Jupiter in Leo

The last decan of Aries combines the fiery impulsiveness of Aries with the expansive, optimistic, and growth-oriented nature of Jupiter and the regal, charismatic qualities of Leo.
