"I celebrate myself; and what I assume you shall assume; for every atom belonging to me, as good belongs to you."

Song of Myself - Walt Whitman (1855)

The World is the 21st key in the Tarot Arcana and is represented astrologically by the planet Saturn. Saturn is associated with time, maturity, structure, gravitation, boundaries, the truth about the truth, and beauty through perfection. The mode of consciousness attributed to the World archetype is administrative intelligence, suggesting that it guides and directs the energies of manifestation, formalizing patterns that govern life and order creation.

The archetype of the World reveals that an ideal state exists within every thought or outward form. The key to unlocking the mysteries and laws of creation are within every aspect of manifestation. All aspects of creation contain codes by which its inner reality can be encountered, but only by learning its language. Man must know himself and recognize that he is an integral part of the natural world. All that is, is a reflection of universal mind, the knowledge of which can free one from thralldom to the realm of appearances.
