    I would have to agree with you given the Martial energies associated with Aries and the Emperor card. However the Hierophant card’s negative qualities( or when reversed) can indicate Saturnian limitation; materialism and misogyny. In the last film it is said that Smith is Neo’s opposite. So in Platonic terms, Neo would be the Unlimited and Smith the Limited and thus cancel on another out. However you are right it is a better fit given its Martial characteristics.

    Folks, anyone purporting to truly know tarot should know that almost all movies have tarot correspondences — the tarot is special because it represents fundamental human archetypes! And archetypes by definition don’t have one representation, be it magician (doctor), empress (wife), or hierophant (teacher). But of course it is exciting to notice similarities, but no larger transcendent revelation is announced.

    i disagree on the associations. To just refer to the beginning. The magician is the one who prepares the world for the arival of the fool which is the avatar. The magician is the pontifex, the bridge builder who has the task to connect the above with the below. The fool is the son of god manifesting as the fool. The fool follows the smell of the rose, looking backwards, walking forwards towards the abbys. New Aeon = foolsworld. He represents the 0. not an “either=or” but rather an “as well as”.

    Very fascinating correspondences found here! I noticed The Oracle was holding a cigarette — a la Justice’s sword. And was holding a glass, perhaps reflecting Justice’s scales?

    This is a great analysis. The Major Arcana of the Tarot has a pattern for the hero’s Journey that has been used countless times in movies- the most well known being Star Wars, both the individual films and the entire series as a whole. The masterpiece in this realm has to be The Wizard of Oz, a prototypical hero’s journey written by L. Frank Baum, who was a member of the Theosophical Society – it’s no accident the Hero’s Journey is incorporated into it.
