Frontier

The edge of the map. Frontier holds travel and places, the exploration of space, ways of living closer to the land, and the questions deliberately left open about what comes after.

How Frontier connects

Symbolic correspondences

Interpretation Older traditions mapped the cosmos through planets, metals, chakras and the Tree of Life. These pairings are this site’s own map; what each one means comes from its tradition, not from science.

  1. Hermetic principle

    Polarity

    “Everything is dual; everything has poles.”

    Known and unknown, home and away: the frontier is wherever one pole turns into the other.

  2. ♅

    Planet · metal

    Uranus · Uranium

    The first planet found with a telescope, by William Herschel in 1781, became the modern planet of the unexpected. Uranium was named after it in 1789.

  3. Chakra · above the navel

    Solar plexus Manipura

    The ten-petalled lotus of will and courage: the fire that gets you out of the door.

  4. Tarot · Tree of Life

    The Fool · Chokmah

    Modern attributions give Uranus the Fool, the traveller stepping off the edge, and Chokmah, “Wisdom”, the first spark.

  5. Sacred geometry

    Torus

    A ring that turns through itself, like a magnet’s field lines looping from pole to pole.
