Step 8 of 12 · The Halls of the Gods
The Emperor
Why this step
The site’s Emperor card uses Thor as its figure, a modern choice of this site and not something the old sources do. On this site the card is direct strength used for protection rather than dominance: Thor leading by being dependable, standing exactly where the threat is. Reversed, it warns that the hammer solves only one kind of problem. Set beside the largest house in heaven, it asks what a great hall is for.
