Thus said Dave to Josh Norton concerning Master Of Temple: 
Hi Dave!
 Da> I've thought a lot about this myself.  I quote AC on the Empress
 Da> card (from the Book of Thoth of course...):
 Da> In general terms, the meaning may be suggested by identifying
 Da> the pelican herself with the Great Mother and her offspring
 Da> with the Daughter in the formula of Tetragrammaton.  It is
 Da> because the daughter *is* the daughter of her mother that she
 Da> can be raised to her throne.
That's more or less what I was getting at, although the "raising the 
Daughter" symbolism refers to a specific initiatory experience rather 
than to the general relationship between finite and transcendental. Once 
you start getting comfortable in Binah, the relationship reveals lots of 
aspects that aren't constrained by that experience.
... Things equal to each other are not equal to each other.
