About this Card:

In the Darqprism Tarot Collection, the Emperor card is represented by my original character Danyal, the Dragon King, who was derived from a dream. in this dream, he is a very powerful and fearsome but lonely and love-scorn King, fallen and with no subjects of his own. He is in the Emperor card not for his literal position as King, but because he embodies both the evil and noble tendencies of man. At first, he was a bloodthirsty destroyer and conqueror, until he met his downfall, which revealed the source of his rage. Facing his loneliness, he realizes what makes him King is not power but the responsibility of caring for his former subjects, and he turns a new leaf to protect and adopt a kingless kingdom under his wing.

Because Danyal can change forms between human and dragon at will, his card also represents transformation, versatility, and being multi-faceted in order to triumph in your battles.

​

Compared to the Traditional Card:

Danyal's version of the Emperor is more intense and more often treading toxic even while possessing his positive traits. He does embody all of the positives that the traditional Emperor does, though it is usually a long time coming, well earned, and more difficult to undo success once obtained.

​

Reflecting on this card:

Violet is not only a regal color for its rarity - it is also the color with the shortest wavelength, the highest frequency, and tunes into our divine connections. Only when we allow ourselves to be shrouded in night can we truly see what shines within us. When we crave destruction - whether someone else’s or our own - it is time to find a new subject of thirst, one that leaves room for both ourselves and others to thrive at its center together.
