Card 1 - Hanged Man
In this card, it depicts a man who is suspended upside-down, and he is hanging by his foot from the living world tree. This tree is rooted deep down in the underworld, and it is known to support the heavens. It is believed that the hanging man is actually positioned there by his own free will. We believe this because of the serene expression which is on his face. His right foot is bound to the branches, but his left foot remains perfectly free. At the same time, he is holding his hands behind his back in a way which forms an inverted triangle. His wearing of red pants are a representation of the physical body and human s passion, while the blue that he wears in his shirt are representative of calm emotions, a color combination that is commonly seen in saints. His intellect is symbolized by the yellow color of his shoes, hair and halo.

Card 2 - Wheel of Fortune
The Wheel of Fortune is one in all the maximum highly symbolic cards inside the deck, stuffed with symptoms that each have its personal meaning. At the center of the card, lies a giant wheel, protected in esoteric symbols. There are extraordinary creatures that surround the wheel; the angel, the eagle, the bull and the lion. They are related to 4 fixed symptoms within the zodiac - leo, taurus, scorpio and aquarius. These four animals also are representatives for the 4 evangelists in Christian traditions, which is perhaps the cause that they are all adorned with wings.
The books that every of the creatures hold represents the Torah which communicates awareness and self-understanding. The snake shows the act of descending into fabric world. On the wheel itself, rides a sphinx that sits at the pinnacle, and what seems to be both a devil, or Anubis himself bobbing up at the bottom. These two Egyptian figures are consultant of both the knowledge of the gods and kings (in the case of the sphinx) and the underworld (Anubis). They are rotating forever, in a cycle, and suggests that as one comes up, the other goes down.
