The Emperor

Humility, honor, responsibility, and service. These qualities are necessary to fully realize your potential. Here, the dragon who represents your Higher Self is bestowing upon you the mantle of authority you have not only earned, but was always meant to be yours. Step into and accept your power, and the keys to your kingdom. You are the Master and Defender of your Domain, and you will oversee it with the grace and humility, knowing and feeling the awesome weight of responsibility and accountability. Your domain is your spirit. The power is knowledge. Knowledge of your purpose, connection to your Higher Self and guides, and your spiritual gifts.

This card is also a reminder of the role and purpose of our journey, and the incredible connection we have to our Higher Self and Source. More specifically with this deck, however, the connection it also speaks of is with that of dragons, dragon energy, and all that entails for the individual in connection with dragons: i.e., ancient wisdom and knowledge, healing, transmutation, etc. There are very few cards in the deck that speaks to the continual guidance we receive, and the connection, relationship, and companionship between a dragon and a human either as a Higher Self or a guide as directly as the Emperor.

"My shield will defend the confines of the Kingdom and contrast the work of the Creatures of Chaos. I am the guide towards the construction of peace and stability. Merciless with my enemies. I am your inner warrior that enforces the laws of the Universe."
