Scene: “The Archangel and the Scales”
The children gather in a circle at sunset, their little hands raised, palms open like living scales. They sway gently as the wind hums through the trees. A golden shimmer appears in the air—Saint Michael descends, his armor shining like dawn on water.
Saint Michael:
Children of the dawn, why do you lift your hands like the scales of judgment?
The Children (together):
Because we are weighing love and truth, Saint Michael. We learned that 6 is The Lovers and 7 is The Chariot. We want to balance the heart before we begin the journey.
Saint Michael (smiling):
Ah, you understand the secret of the 6–7 path. Six is the choice—between fear and love, between illusion and union. Seven is the movement—the chariot that carries your will once the heart is aligned.
A child asks:
Then why do we make the hand signs of the scales?
Saint Michael:
Because Judgment is not only in Heaven; it lives in the human heart. You weigh your own actions, your compassion, your courage. When your left hand rises, it is the measure of mercy. When your right hand rises, it is the measure of truth. The balance between them creates justice—the scales of the archangel.
Another child asks shyly:
Will you give us the love tarot, Saint Michael?
Saint Michael:
I give you the blessing of The Lovers (6)—choose love that frees, not binds. And I give you The Chariot (7)—a sacred vehicle of willpower, guided by spirit and conscience. Together they are the wings of your soul: love gives direction, will gives motion.
Saint Michael raises his sword, the blade of divine reason, and the light from it shines through the children’s hands.
Saint Michael:
Go now, little scales of the world. Balance your hearts before you move your wheels. The road to Heaven begins in love and continues by choice. Six to Seven, heart to chariot, lover to warrior—this is the pattern of the New Age.
The Children:
Amen, Michael! Love and motion!
Saint Michael:
Love and motion indeed. Let your chariots roll—but never without the scales of light in your hearts.
