> PERSONA

MAJOR ARCANA:

THE EMPEROR
Tradition, experience, order, discipline, control of surroundings, structure, leadership, organization.
The Emperor symbolizes the desire to rule over and control one's surroundings, along with being in control over your body, your temper, and your instincts.

The Emperor is the father figure of the Tarot deck. He is the "provider" and protects and defends his loved ones. His wisdom is obtained through worldly, life experience. He has "been there, done that," and has the scars to prove it. He takes what he has learned and passes it on, so someday others can be as wise and powerful as he is. He brings security and comfort to those around him. The Emperor is also representative of structure and stability. He is able to create order out of chaos by carefully categorizing his thoughts and mapping out what needs to be done to solve the problem. He is a systematic and strategic thinker and is highly organized and coordinated in his approach. He sticks to a plan and ensures he sees it out until the end.

The Emperor reflects rules and regulations. He establishes law and order by applying principles or guidelines to a specific situation. He likes to operate within a defined structure with set boundaries. He respects routine and follows a specific regimen or discipline. Domination of the mind over the heart is sometimes unwanted or best avoided but with the Emperor, it is necessary and even welcomed. If you are facing difficult choices, you must maintain your concentration and focus. Enjoy the assertiveness and confidence that this self-control and focus brings. Push ahead and do what you know is best. Know that if you can master yourself then you should have little problem mastering the world and everything in it.

INITIAL PERSONA:

RYUJIN
Weak to Earth/Ice, Resist Fire/Water

In Japanese mythology, Ryujin is the dragon god of the sea. He controlled the tides with his magical jewels and is said to be one of the ancestors of the Japanese imperial dynasty. He was the father of the goddess Otohime, and various sea creatures (jellyfish, fish, sea turtles) are often depicted as his servants. There are a few specific legends about Ryujin:

Ryujin wanted to eat monkey's liver (in some versions of the story, to heal an incurable rash), and sent the jellyfish to get him a monkey. The monkey managed to sneak away from the jellyfish by telling him that he had put his liver in a jar in the forest and offered to go and get it. As the jellyfish came back and told Ryujin what had happened, Ryūjin became so angry that he beat the jellyfish until its bones were crushed.

The Empress Jingu was able to carry out her attack into Korea with the help of Ryujin's tide jewels. Upon confronting the Korean navy, Jingu threw the kanju (tide-ebbing jewel) into the sea, and the tide receded. The Korean fleet was stranded, and the men got out of their ships. Jingu then threw down the manju (tide-flowing jewel) and the water rose, drowning the Korean soldiers.

ULTIMATE PERSONA:

KAGUTSUCHI
Absorb Fire, Resist Water, Block Dark

Kagetsuchi is the God of fire in Japanese mythology. Kagutsuchi's birth burned his mother Izanami, causing her death. His father Izanagi, in his grief, beheaded Kagutsuchi with his sword, Ame no Ohabari (天之尾羽張), and cut his body into eight pieces, which became eight volcanoes. The blood that dripped off Izanagi's sword created a number of deities, including the sea god Watatsumi and rain god Kuraokami.

Kagutsuchi's birth, in Japanese mythology, comes at the end of the creation of the world and marks the beginning of death.
