What the card shows
In the waters of life, the Cubical Stone; within the stone, the wading bird and upon it, the dove of the Holy Spirit. In the middle section a woman closes the jaws of a furious lion, indicating that this is superior to violence. Upon her head is the crown, and from her forehead rises the Serpent, indicating Mastery.

Its esoteric meaning
In the Kabbalah, card number 11 is known as Persuasion. The hieroglyph of this Arcanum is a beautiful woman who tranquilly, and with olympian serenity closes the jaws of a furious lion with her very own hands. The thrones of the Divine Kings were adorned with lions of solid Gold. Gold signifies the Sacred Fire of Kundalini. This reminds us of Horus the Gold. We need to transmute the lead of the personality into the Gold of the Spirit.
