In this episode, Claire has a LOT to say about The Emperor, Death, and the rest of the number family of the 4’s! This is the energy of structure and stability, of systems and intelligent design, and of intentionally cultivated growth. The Emperor is an often misunderstood card, one with which many folks have a hard time connecting, so here we unpack the card’s associations with patriarchy and toxic masculinity and take a look at The Emperor’s true medicine, which has nothing to do with either.   Tarot Cards in this episode: -The Emperor -Death -4 of Wands -4 of Swords -4 of Cups -4 of Pentacles   If you liked this episode, please subscribe, rate, and review!
