rowanfThe Shadowscape Emperor stands bound by, or arising out of, a tree. His cipurving horns have a pendant ankh and he is crowned by a leaf. He holds a ball with a green dragon within, constrained by his hands. Behind him is a circular carving with many animals. So I see him as order and constraint, but within rather than against nature.
I, like many of my generation, resist authority and find it untrustworthy. One need only look around at politicians and others who claim worldly power to see why this is so.
And yet, the work of a librarian -- to bring order to knowledge, to catalogue and create systems is emperor work. What do I want to organize? Where can I best offer my systemization skills in the world?
This is definitely a card whose energy I am ambiguous about.
