The image of the two lovers displayed in this Atu, though not imitating the shape of the Hebrew letter shows a literal propping up of the female upon the male the male being the prop. The constellation Centaurus represents the wise and scholarly Chiron who rose above the wild and ill-behaved race of Centaurs. That Chiron‟s
father was Cronus, king of the Titans evokes in this Atu, the Nephilim. The Nephilim depicted clearly here as Cronus would be a Son of God who mated with the Daughter of Man. And we get the idea that the Titans were actually the Anunaki. The Nephilim bring us the Magick that is medicine and the arts as much as it is hunting and the way of the Beast. Centaurus from the Uranographia of Johann Bode. The centaur holds along pole called a thyrsus on which is impaled Lupus, the wolf.
Alpha Centauri, the closest star to the Sun, marks the centaurs forefoot while Crux,
the Southern Cross, is found under his hindquarters. Centaurus is depicted in the sky as about to sacrifice an animal, the Beast (indicated by the constellation Lupus) on the altar (indicated by the constellation Ara. This was said to be a sign of Chiron‟s virtue, as it is here, clearly an intimation of the bloody sacrifice. The constellation Fornax Chemica is a chemists furnace (used for distillation) that is found in the sky to be tucked into
a bend in the river Eridanus, noted in the previous Atu. In the current card, the process of distillation, being the reason for the furnace is suggested. The distillant is the incense burner before Nuit in the attributed verse from Liber AL.
Fornax was portrayed as a complex-looking experiment under the name Apparatus Chemicus in the Uranographia of Johann Bode.
