IV Emperor



In this episode of The Dark Corner, I talk about IV The Emperor. That is, I continue to catch up on our discussion of the tarot. First, I address the current political climate. Also, I review a tv show and a video game. Furthermore, I play a dark track and include a promo for a fellow podcast.

The Tarot: IV The Emperor



For the point, I explain the symbology of The Emperor, the fourth card of the Major Arcana. I describe the image of a throned figure. Moreover, I explore the meaning behind the image. For Instance, the mountains represent a boundary. Additionally, a suit of armor suggest emotional defenses.



Also, I illustrate the numerology of the card. The fourth card relates to XIII Death and The Fool. Furthermore, it connects with the number four cards of the Minor Arcana.



Finally, I relate this patriarchal card to pop culture. Mainly, the Emperor represents the strict father. That is, the Emperor represents masculine authority.
