Ace of Keys

symbol-key meaning-union

FESTIVAL OF PEACE- (full moon with sun in Libra)
The Ace of Keys governs the three days after full moon until the Last Quarter. It marks the end of the fruiting cycle and the end of the fire initiation in the yearly cycle.

This is the beginning of the germination cycle, the beginning of winter and the beginning of the initiation of earth and the earth energies.

Here is the first joining of male and female energies as the old fruit is given to the earth in total surrender. This is the planting of the seed.

Alchemically this happens on the Magical planes near the earth as they merge together to accept the new seed in its entirety. It is the natural beginning of the Initiation cycle as the probationer takes the first step on a spiritual journey of learning about love and relationships.

This is the starting point for love. The Ace of Keys represents the new born male and female child. They have not yet met in a meaningful way. The union represented by this card is the union and harmony of the universe itself. The universe exists in harmony even if we can not sense that natural harmony. The world is right and the world is perfect. There is nothing that needs to be changed. We are born into this world.

The male and female experience life very differently. The male regenerates his energy by tapping into photon or light energy and the female regenerates her energy by tapping into the atomic and molecular energies of physical matter.

The old nursery rhyme tells us, "drums and snails and puppy dog tails, that's what little boys are made of". "Sugar and spice and everything nice, that's what little girls are made of". The physical body we are born into determines many of our life experiences.

This difference between the sexes is also a difference in polarity. It attracts the male and female together for an energy exchange and attempts to balance and neutralize the inequalities between each of them.

Ace of Keys


Male experience:

The Ace of Keys symbolizes light/electricity bursting through the barriers of old ideas. Conscious awareness and intuitive awareness are one and the same. Here is the spiritual experience of being at one with God or the Cosmic.

The boy child has the experience of becoming part of all things and finding his true destiny in play and nature.

The limitations of language make this experience indescribable and it can be shared with no one. This is very difficult for him to accept. Especially when he tries to communicate with the opposite sex.

This card also symbolizes the life force, the phallus and God in physical form. The spirit of life within us is sacred and holy.

Female experience:

The Ace of Keys symbolizes her union with the spiritual light. She achieves a great understanding suddenly in the form of illuminations. She has a strong awareness of being a girl instead of a boy. Instinctively she is aware of the life force in the phallus and of boys being Gods in physical form .

She wonders what it would be like to live forever but no one understands her. Many things remain a secret between God and herself.

She feels small and helpless as she ponders the mighty forces of destiny and the male dominated world.
