From the New Liminal Tarot, Strength; from the State by State Cards, Louisiana (King of Hearts):
The angelic woman in this card seems to exude patience and calmness while the lion embodies fierceness and courage. It may be hard to believe, but we all have both sets of qualities within us even though have one set is usually our default. However, we often have to practice the weakest quality to make it more natural - and neither side is easier or more fun. Yet when we have a center of calmness, it is easier to act with bravery in more appropriate ways. Louisiana is where jazz was born, a music genre that originated in the African American communities of New Orleans. Developed partially from ragtime and blues, it is often characterized by urgent beats, syncopation, improvisation, and impromptu solos. If you don't know the song, it can be hard to tell what direction the music will take (much like life). Inner strength provides the resilience and clarity to get through the varying beats we experience daily.
