Copper Queen (The Empress and August 2021 in the "Ripple" video)

Well, August is turning out to have a number of prominent month-specific events, so I thought I should take a look at what the "Ripple" video has for August. It's the Empress, varying little from the Rider-Waite.

Instead of the biblical crown of 12 stars, the "Ripple" Empress has only nine. This suggests no obvious interpretation, though it is perhaps worth noting that Oswald Wirth's Empress has a circle of nine stars around her head. The heart marked with the emblem of Venus is blue instead of gray and yellow (blue is more appropriate, since it is the color of venous blood), and she's holding her scepter at a different angle -- almost as if it were a microphone she were holding for someone to her right. She and her throne are being held by a disembodied hand.

Later in the video, the Empress puts out her other hand, and a yin-yang symbol appears in it.

This may also be a nod to Oswald Wirth, as he puts a yin-yang symbol on the cover of the book held by his Papess.

The planet Venus is associated with copper and could be called the "copper star" This connection led me to the Wikipedia article for "Copper," of which I show a screenshot below.

Note the two images that appear together on the screen.

On the left, the symbol that does double duty for copper and Venus, and which appears on the Empress's heart-shaped shield. On the right, the idea of "copper ornaments" could have been illustrated in any number of ways, but they just happened to choose a yin-yang symbol.

Arizona is known as the Copper State, and its flag prominently features a "copper star" -- a fact that the synchronicity fairies brought to my attention back in October 2019, when I was reading James Shelby Downard's conspiracy classic "King Kill 33." Downard has this to say about Arizona and its copper connection.

Arizona is the "Copper State". Copper (Kypros) is symbolically as well as etymologically associated with Cyprus (Kypros) and cyprian. The word "cyprian" indicates a 'wanton woman' and this meaning is traced through the word Kypris to Aphrodite Pome, Venus, Al-Uzzah. The "Great Whore" of mythology and those women who fulfill this role in magic sexualis from time to time are called "Copper Queans" or "Copper Queens". 

An association of the name Cyprus to Copper in Arizona is indicated by the Cyprus and Baghdad Copper Company which operates a mine near Prescott. There is a Copper Queen Hotel in Bisbee, Arizona that was built and operated by a copper company. 

By this means one can expect to find a number of palimpsests pertaining to sex magic in the state of Arizona. 

This suggests that, despite the focus on the goings-on in Afghanistan, the truly important events of August 2021 are taking place in the state of Arizona.

"Copper Queen" also suggests Kamala Harris, who used to be a "copper" (law enforcement officer) and who is currently one dementia diagnosis away from becoming a "queen" (female head of state).

Downard's explanation suggests another sense in which the label "Copper Queen" applies -- the one implied by the nickname "Heels Up Harris."

Note added Sept. 30, 2021: It's a month late, but here's a photo from Slow Joe's fake peck photo op.

The woman has a syringe in her scepter hand and is standing in front of the presidential flag in just the right position to make it appear that she is wearing a crown of nine (I think; possibly only eight) stars. This was supposedly Slow Joe's third peck, which is the number of the Empress card.

The woman is just some random nurse or actress, of course -- but if my interpretation of this part of the "Ripple" spread is correct, she is symbolically Kamala Harris. "Kamala" with a syringe made me think of Jesus' famous statement, "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God" (Mark 10:25, Matt. 19:24, Luke 18:25) -- and I'd rather leave the synchronistical implications of that unstated for now. We'll see if anything interesting happens.
