Normally
when I think of the King of Wands/Staves, I think of a go-getter, a
person full of vim and vigor. But this guy looks pretty sedate and a
bit on the wimpy side, until you notice how he is cradling that orb.
The king's orb represents sovereign power and was a symbol of world
domination. I like the addition of the cross on top - in my cynical
mind I see it as a way to justify taking what you want, as long as it's
in the name of religion. For some reason, I don't think that whole
"love your neighbor" idea involved crushing him underneath your boot.
The oracle I'll be using this week is the Sabian Symbols described in Lynda Hill's 360 Degrees of Wisdom. I have a 12 sided die of astrological symbols and a 30 sided die for the degrees that I'll be using instead of a deck of cards. Today's roll is "Scorpio, 7th Degree:"

Deep sea divers with special machinery.
This
description made me think of the divers who went far below the ocean to
look at the remains of the Titanic. This symbol reminds me that if I
want to discover my real motivations, sometimes I must plumb the
depths. It is too easy to rationalize or hide a bad intention with a
good one - kind of like covering up a cake disaster with a ton of
icing. A quick surface look will not do, and will require the tools of
honesty, open-mindedness and willingness.
