The six of clubs, in Tarot, represents the Six of Wands, which in turn convey a victory after a long effort, acclaim, and high self-esteem. However, it may be fleeting.
As one site quoted Dante:
“O gifted men, vainglorious for first place, how short a time the laurel crown stays green …………………………………….. A breath of wind is all there is to fame here upon earth: it blows this way and that, and when it changes quarter it changes name. ”
So, it would seem that the Oceanic Six have achieved a measure of acclaim and victory in their escape from the Island. But it also appears, from Jack’s downward spiral, his lies during Kate’s trial, etc, that his sense of pride is not quite intact.
So, six = six, and oceanic = clubs?
Um…ok.
“six = six, and oceanic = clubs? ”
No, that’s not what I said.
I used the double equals signs “==” to indicate a correspondence, not an equality.
Think outside the hatch.
