The Elemental Trumps

3 Petals - Elemental Trumps

These are the first of the Rose of 22 Petals to manifest. They correspond to the 3 mother letters, the 3 primitive elements, and the 3 primary colors:

Atu 0 - The Fool - Aleph, Air, yellow 

Atu 12 - The Hanged Man - Mem, Water, blue 

Atu 20 - The Aeon - Shin, Fire, red 

"The fourth element, earth, is a combination of air, water and fire. Earth will eventually manifest as a separate element when the arms of the Great Cross are formed." -Duquette, Thoth Tarot, n. 69, 317
