72-5-hierophant

 

The Hierophant (Trump V. in the tarot) is about expressing deep spiritual truths and teaching them to others.  The card also carries the subtext of expressing the sexual desires of the Hierophant himself (Taurus is ruled by Venus after all.) 

 

And then we have Charles Bukowski, whose genius by now I hope needs no espousing, who fits right in there, the man of our time.

If Crowley is the Magus of the new Aeon, then I dub Charles Bukowski its Hierophant.

    I love Bukowski, he has been a bit of a guru to me since I started reading him a few years ago. My first in his collection was Tales of Ordinary Madness, followed by Women, and then on to Notes of a Dirty Old Man. Excellent reading and a wealth of education and knowledge. Hank the Heirophant! Hail Hail.
