Queen of Pentacles: Archetyping Wonder Woman‪.‬

0. Queen of Pentacles How does one set out for Paradise? How does one explain it, its presence, its absence? Not, perhaps, with vision that can make out only this world. Paradise Lost--first great English epic of heaven, antipode to Dante Alighieri's architectural agony, tale told to "justify the ways of God to men," fable the Romantics saw as evidence of Satan's sublimity--was written by a blind man. Tended to by his daughters, by the amanuensis who took dictation as he opened up his brain that he might shed the vision of a poem he saw as having first been dictated to him by archons in the night, Milton found his way through eons of angelic angst without his eyes. What might have been impediment to others appears to have set Milton's mind free. What many would call certain bondage, Milton made into might.
