What does it mean in tarot divination by the Emeror

Crowley identifies this card with one of three Hun - rajas, that is life, energy and passion. There is a paradox that as all the magical paradoxes can only be comprehended intuitively - the same What does the archetype, emanates as absolutely static idea of power - patriarchy, a great father, and Rajas, that is masculine dynamism of life. As well as the Empress, this extremely feminine card, the card is the Emperor of Men in all senses of the term. This is a warrior and conqueror, and the king to maintain order, and the image of God the Father - not by accident the main attribute of the Old Testament Yahweh was a ram, which corresponds exactly to this map.

The emperor, empress are pairs of opposites, and is useful to consider together. All these maps accurately purports to highlight their opposition pastel colors of the Empress and the bright red and yellow colors of the Emperor, Empress rolled to the left, the emperor - to the right, the images of the emperor - the solar disk, the Empress - the moon sickles, the shield depicts a red eagle of the Emperor - Shield Empress - white pelican and the scepter of power in the hands of the Emperor opposed the lily in the hands of the empress. In this context it is useful to recall the following statement Jung, clarifying the subtleties associated with this primary duality: "The opposite of love - not hate - the opposite of love power." The idea of power linked to the idea of separation, as indicated by the popular aphorism of Roman origin, while love is the principle of unification that has been carefully analyzed in the last lecture.

In the Freudian system, as well as in the coordinate system of Robert Anton Wilson, the emperor may be identified with the anal stage of development and the second circuit, when the idea of self-assertion, dominance, control, become defining. "According to Freud, an aggressive and tyrannical type of behavior is associated with an unconscious fixation in the anal period that is, aged from one year to three (the first steps to teach to the toilet). In the system of the Young Emperor corresponds What does the archetype of a great father, who can be both positive (rational self-control, stimulating competition) and negative (control, aggression, despotism). Young first found that the prevalence of patriarchal culture in the first principles leads to neurosis and instability, and a man locked in the bastions of dogma, finds itself unable to accept new trends. The end of patriarchy, Young connected with the adoption of the Catholic dogma of Mary's ascension into the body, which in his opinion will inevitably lead to the liberation of the feminine healing compensating.

But contrary to popular in New eydzhevskih circles believe that this represents the archetype of what should simply be discarded, we must remember that this is impossible and unnecessary. The emperor, as he wrote to Crowley, it is not only power but also rajas - the material energy action - dead water power and water of life energy coming from the same source. Resist Caesar can only equal Caesar, and a value system completely devoid of Rajas is doomed - the sad experience of the first rebellion sixtieth became that evidence, and to replace the rebels flower type, came to those who know how to show their teeth when needed.

Whenever we start to work with archetypes That means, we must remember the principle of compensation for this is the fundamental law of the unfolding of any psychological dynamics. For example, in the past eon, mankind has been obsessed with the ideal of nonviolence and forgiveness - the ideals rather neurotic. However, according to the principle of compensation is a religion which preaches tolerance and forgiveness, in practice, showed the utmost tolerance in the history of religions. Even the first religious war, the Jews, only self-defense - not one religion, has not attempted to rescue one and all, by any means, including by fire and sword. Anyone who would argue that this behavior seems due to the hypocrisy, really does not understand the psychological and magical laws. Because the task is not to follow some one-sided idea, and the passionate union of opposites, of which the different words spoken Jung and Crowley.
