Redefining The Emperor
from The Tarot Diagnosis · host Shannon Knight
This week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, I explore why The Emperor is one of the most contentious cards in the tarot (along with The Hierophant, but that's for a later episode). I’ve long had a distant and detached relationship with this card until recently. Join me as I spend time unraveling this archetype’s shadow in order to reveal its light - which we don’t often allow to shine. Throughout this episode, I rely heavily on the Somnia Tarot depiction of The Emperor, because it is hauntingly beautiful and masterfully showcases both the rigidly stoic shadow energy of this archetype, as well as the often lonely, burdened, personal responsibility to care and lead that often gets dismissed.
