I use tarot and oracle cards as tools for reflection and contemplation. Rather than divining the future, they are a way for me to look more deeply at the "now."

Laws of Love or Lock-down

From the Nigel Jackson Tarot, the Emperor; from the Viking Lenormand, the Snake:
          This Emperor sits before his city with the key to its gates at his feet. He decides who is welcome and who is refused entry. In the middle of a pandemic, strict rules of behavior are necessary and helpful to keep everyone safe and well. But how different it looks when the Emperor wants to build a wall, not to protect the well-being of those in his care, but because those outside the gates are simply different in some way. The Snake can represent betrayal or selfishness and greed, and it is the latter meaning that fits with this Emperor. Are his laws created for the benefit of all, or only to benefit himself?

Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live.

    The more I think on it I think our boyo is a puppet of the Emperor of Russia.

      Of course he delusionally thinks he's pulling all the strings.
