Published: Nov. 14, 2018, 11 p.m.

b"Prison or protection?\\xa0 This week, we face the 4 of Pentacles or Disks, the Lord of Power (is that redundant?!) or Material Power.\\xa0 Here are tropes of kingship - the Sun as ruler of the decan, Capricorn as the zodiac's CEO, even Jupiter as the force governing all 4's.\\xa0 The power derives from the throne, and it is rooted, strongly fortified, solid gold, and immovable.\\xa0 In the fortress of the Old New Year, the embers of increasing light reflect treasures, amassed and hoarded.\\xa0 Does wealth buy freedom, or its opposite? In our conversation we discuss: the summit of materialism, bank vaults, the lighting of the fire, the Burning of the Clavie, King Midas, the animal nature,\\xa0 the Sun and the Devil major arcana, freedom vs captivity, absolute power that corrupts absolutely, Lucifer and his relationship with Knowledge,\\xa0 the power of carnality, Jupiter as Demiurge, obedience and tyranny, billionaires in bunkers, Chesed as limitless good, the coat closet of the abyss, the angel Zadkiel and the demon Astaroth, the Emerald Tablet, Operation of the Sun, turds laid beneath the throne, the mural crown, the heavenly Jerusalem, mandalas, thangkas, kalachakras, sun stones, the invincible Green Man, hexagram #2, and 'Soli Invicto'.
