From the Shadowscapes Tarot, the Emperor; from the Arthur Rackham Oracle, 'Disquiet:'
If one is under the rule of the Emperor, it's easy to cast shade on his authority. "Just look at him with his big horns! He just loves to be in charge of everything." Yet the Emperor's job isn't easy - he must create order from chaos. In most cases, his laws are in place for good reason. Those who've been in leadership roles or had to manage a group of people and resources would likely agree. The Rackham card 'Disquiet' comes from an illustration of A Midsummer's Night Dream. In this scene, Puck is explaining to the fairy king that his turning the head of someone into a donkey caused all of the folks in the vicinity to lose their heads as well. They scattered like birds upon hearing a gunshot. When insanity reigns, it's best to have someone who knows how to look at the situation with logic rather than simply yelling and running around in circles. Now where was the number of that Emperor...
I can't think of any situation that would make me speak to the emperor. Puck? Now maybe...
ReplyDeletePuck was truly barely contained chaos. :)
