| | The Symbolism of A. E. Waite's Tarot "Chariot" |
 | | Waite admits that he chose the motif used by Eliphas Levi, a writer who obviously had much influence on Waite (though, unlike Crowley, who thought Levi was his immediate former incarnation, Waite whines about admitting this influence). |
 | | While Waite depicts this symbol with no border, aprons often were trimmed with red or blue or some other color, depending on the rank of the wearer or the rite for which the apron was dedicated. |
 | | However, there is much more than fortune-telling to tarot, and the more one knows about the complexity of the symbolism and the more one knows the truth about the symbolism, the better chance he will have to make accurate applications of the symbolism, in whatever usage he may make of the cards. |
