If you look at the second verse, and translate it, the words word be:-<br /><br />Fate =monstrous and empty, you whirling wheel, <br />you are malevolent, well-being is vain<br />and always fades to nothing, shadowed and veiled<br />you plague me too; <br />now through the game<br />I bring my bare back <br />to your villainy.<br /><br />It does relate to the card, specially as the wheel is definately mentioned in the second verse. In the first, it says:<br />"o fortune,<br /> like the moon<br />you are changeable,<br />ever waxing<br />and waning,<br />hateful life<br />first oppresses<br />then soothes<br />as fancy takes it;<br />poverty and power<br />it melts them<br />like ice."<br /><br />The song when you look at the lyrics is great as a spoken imagery of the wheel of fortune and the card.<br /><br />If you check out the details about the card, taking into account the depiction in the A.E. Waite decks,<br />"Basically, this card has been modeled ever since the tarot's inception in the 15th century after the medieval concept of Rota FortunaeThe Wheel of Fortune<br />The Wheel of Fortune, or Rota Fortunae, is a concept in medieval and ancient philosophy referring to the capricious nature of destiny. The wheel belongs to the goddess Fortuna , who spins it at random, changing the positions of those on the wheel - some suffer great misfortune, others gain windfalls...." http://www.absoluteastronomy.com/topics/Wheel_of_Fortune_(Tarot_card)<br />love and light, hoping your wheel of fortune shines bright<br />Gina.Georgina at Doggeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04816490314890402215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2901889518637719859.post-4809276668960685972009-07-24T01:30:21.666+01:002009-07-24T01:30:21.666+01:00O Fortuna is Latin and does not translate as Wheel...O Fortuna is Latin and does not translate as Wheel of fortune.
