As noted with Aleister Crowley's "Knight of Disks" Tarot reading, displaying Crowley's interest in Right Wing power, be it the technological prowess of the 1900s. Which was advancements in warfare. Unfortunately, the Age of Enlightenment was a period in time that humanity began to believe that technology would set us free, and science and knowledge holds all the answers to progression. Of course, this has also lead to a distortion within the sciences, to justify superiority i.e, Fascism, and imperialism fueled global conflicts. That human desire to be overly structured and controlled. Crowley was not a counterculture figure, nor any revolutionary persona, his passing in 1947 left us with his Thelema religion, which was Crowley's legacy, that attracted some of the Beatniks, and artists of the 1950s. And his most famous adherent was Jack Parsons, a rocket engineer who accidently blew himself up in 1952. Crowley's drug induced mishmash of Freemasonry, Western esoteric and Eastern mythology, was more aligned with proto-fascist overtures than not. Yet, this was before the 1960s counterculture movements, and sexual liberation hedonism of the 1970s and early 1980s, where the male dominated societies of yesteryear took a backseat, and ceremonial occultism was left in the history books. Witchcraft, and Satanism (even with its theatrics) of the said eras, offered a creative outlet of an understanding of the feminine away from the oppression of the theocratic, and its ceremonial imprint of the importance of equality, and of course peace. Crowley, despite his importance in Occultist studies, was very much a product of his time.
Reading:
Be wary of the structured male, as he is warring in nature and controlling in desire. This is not the masculine, like the feminine they are beyond the material world. And even though you are nothing, the feminine and masculine combined offer guidance to the material world. Yet, the Emperor in all his arrogance sits upon his throne, and lays claim to authority. That he knows best, yet he is no master. Otherwise he would have turned his back on you, to learn the path is to know the self. I have no answers. And when he holds the material world as an object, under an arrogance of superiority, offering structure and control. It will be at your peril. Do you fear nature? You shouldn't, yet the Emperor does and denies that we could be annihilated by nature, thus it is his fearful emotion that is destructive by his folly, rather than create and learn from nature. He wishes to tame the wild beasts, the card explains the theory of being governed. See the Two Rams either side, with the lamb below holding the flag. The male, when deluded by his own stupor believes that he can control the unruly feminine. She is not, but the flame of existence, she knew chaos, as the feminine lives peacefully within the chaotic world. He, fears this. Be it that meditation, without the material body is control of the self and acceptance of a chaotic nature. So I say again, be wary of the "Tzaddi", the righteous one, be wary of the governing male, be wary of the leader, be wary of the authority of man. Be wary of the one that offers peace, through war. As his conspiracies of superiority, will be revealed in his madness. You may reverse the card if you wish, and turn the Emperor into a pitiful mortal. If you choose to reject structure and control, and embrace the chaotic energy, you will embrace peace. Because you will have no fear. And the power of the self, despite it being fleeting, is rejection of his governing world. As self destruction, is its end.
IV "The Emperor"
___
Reading:
Do you wish for the autocracy of rule? Stability and its symbolism? Notice how the Three wands and Three adepts are positioned, within the Nine flames, all burning in unison. Order has been established. And the desire for structure completed. The war has ended, as the warring God Jupiter resides over this card. May you revel in Peace Through Destruction. Of a victory at all cost. Is this what you wanted? If so, I must warn you that the Pyrrhic is fleeting. And Empires do fall. Be it that arrogance, will be your final curse. The lust for total victory, in the end, also fails. Order turns to chaos. As the King and Knight must return to the same box. And the forces of nature, will have the last say. Meditate on victory as an ending, not a beginning.
