Lot of Courage
A lot, used for courage, confrontation and confidence in the Ensoul Grimoire.
Courage (Greek tolma) is the Mars-keyed lot, measured from Fortune. Sources disagree on the formula's direction and, more sharply, on its tone: Paulus treats it as boldness and the force of conflict, while other witnesses read the same lot as rashness or as the audacity that precedes a fall. The planetary key is a Hermetic association, not the lot's ruler — the working lord is the domicile lord of the sign the lot falls in — and the seven-lot ordering itself varies between authors.
