The guide |:|::| is quite the opposite #22 and is ALBVS, the White Rabbit [ also Neo's guide in Matrix ]. If 22 is ALBEEDO then 47 is NIGREDO. Both stories begin with a sort of tree and Alice enters the tree, while Cinderella cries on her mother tomb. There are versions of Cinderella allright but I remember the one in which a sad willow and a bird feature as spiritual symbols. Geomantically we have Carcer as a start figure. 47 insists on the yin introduction as Lao Tzu would a dark valley. A crippled tree is a symbol of limitation in growth. Obstacles to the young initiate. Or his Soul, since both Cindy and Alice are innocent female actors meeting spiritual guides. It is funny how the second line alludes to a bizarre party and table well known to Alice readers. Cinderella has this sorting task in which birds of spirit help her and she is also bound to a party. We moved here to the second line of 47. A prince without a spouse perhaps symbol of an uninitiated Spirit features in line 3. The fourth line is a rush since friends come and help with the pumpkin chariot. The pumpkin is a symbol of spiritual pregnancy in daoism. To add a few puns one will observe Alice becoming Queen in 19 reaching the 8th position. Chess has always been a genetic puzzle for the I Ching. I hope the reader will discover other alchemical treasures in this adventures other. I reccomend I Ching translations and upgrades by James Legge and Roweena Pattee.
