uniphi, I covered the crocs at the bottom in my post. Summary: In Egyptian culture, the crocodile was a hungry beast, ready to eat anything thrown its way. In the test of the soul in Egyptian mythology, a heart that weighs more than Maat's feather is thrown to the hungry croc. My interpretation is that whichever way one chooses, something must still be sacrificed, thrown to the crocodile.
Also, no need to worry. I knew you were responding to a Ra quotation which refers to the Choice. I think that further discussion would be appropriate since this is not a connection I've ever seen made before (thanks for that!), but since this thread is not about Archetype 14, the discussion will have to occur elsewhere.
Some of the landscapes at the bottom of the cards seem to depict seasons, For what it's worth.
