It’s so refreshing to read interpretations of a tarot reader who values the traditional way vs the new ‘woke’ way. This is why I stick to the Marseilles deck :) and that’s crazy about how some modern decks make the emperor into a spoiled brat. What you say resonates…I got attacked online by a man who said my king making program was ‘toxic’. He was super indoctrinated w feminism.

Liberal woke men can be worse than woke women sometimes, fighting for their subjugation with feminine-coded spite. Unbekoming and pathetic.

The thing is, you don’t have to like the Emperor or Hierophant, but you do have to realize, if you don’t integrate the archetype it will come out sideways. That is why so many on the left talk about tolerance but are the worst unchecked authoritarians around.

Yessss! You nailed it. Integrating those opposites, and having accountability.

Also, thank you. It can get kind of isolating, keeping to the traditional esoteric.
