Tarot Personalities- the Emperor

I've talked previously about revamping 78 Weeks of Tarot and bringing it over to Divine Trinity Tarot's social media.  Previously, I would hunt Pinterest for quotes and images relevant to the cards.  I'm still hunting quotes, but I'm now making my own graphics!  It's pretty fun and a lot easier than I thought it would be.  Some turn out better than others, but I like to think I'm improving overall.  

Today I posted the Emperor, and I realize that the quote I chose probably says a lot more about me than the card as a whole.  Whoops, I think my daddy issues are showing.  I just see him as unflinchingly stern.  Not uncaring, but still stone-like.  He believes in order and systems.  If you don't follow the order, he believes discipline will set you back in line.  This goes more in hand with the reverse of the card, but it is an aspect of the Emperor nonetheless.  And on Friday I'll make sure to highlight him in a more positive light.
There are so many different facets to each tarot card, none can be summed up sufficiently with one quote.  So I guess it's a good thing that I try to give each card at least two graphics.  And when we run through the entire deck, we can start over and keep exploring all those angles.  It's one of my favorite tarot hobbies!
