represents the Sun and has no mate. It is marked as a sun, on the diagram. Where colors are used, in recording the diagram, the characteristics of the tarot can be differentiated by the colors. But in plain black, we are obliged to use such devices as thickening of lines etc., in order to show up the tarot satisfactorily.
In recording tarots, they should first be sorted as to their geometrical forms. Second as to their index line. The index line of any tarot, is the one, either horizontal or perpendicular, which contains the Ego or unit, but NOT the 13. But, of the two such lines, you must take the one having the smallest numbers next the one. For instance, take these two lines. .
| 7 | 14 | 22 | 1 | 21 |
| 12 | 1 | 19 | 22 | 11 |
The index line is recorded as: 1 7 14 21 22, no matter what rotation they come in, in the tarot. Your index will find the tarot for you in your collection and you will thus avoid duplication.
Some students prefer to sort only by diagram. Small collections are as well recorded this way. If the Sun is in the exact center of a tarot it is called a "Solar Tarot." if the Sun is in any other square, the tarot is called a REP. This name comes from the word Republic, on the theory that the "king" has been set out from his throne.
A "Straw-stack" is a tarot with a soul which is mixed in all sorts of inorganic ways. There are many thousands of this kind in existance.
