Musickal Meditations - Channeling The Emperor

We are delighted to share our newest Musickal Meditation, designed in the essence of The Emperor! This series is rolling along much quicker than anticipated. As it stands now, we have the next 4 Major Arcana sampled and ready for mastering. I suppose that is a testament to the energy available when a project feels really aligned.

As with all meditations, you may opt to simply enjoy the music on its own, or work with some of the suggestions provided to perform a fuller ritual. We do hope you enjoy the sounds! We will be updating the YouTube page regularly as we add more tracks as well as storing all links on a separate page of this site, so they are easy to find! Keep reading to learn more about connecting with The Emperor.

Meditation Package - The Emperor in C Natural

Background: The purpose of these meditations is to allow you space to connect with the 22 Major Arcana, which are, in many ways, separated aspects of ourselves. Each element of this project has been carefully considered, from the note selection to the length of the track to the written piece which accompanies it. The intention is to supply the user of the track with the musical essence of the Major Arcana in question to help them get in touch with their own inner archetype of that nature. We envision that one may use this as part of a regular meditative practice, to open up a card reading session, before or during ritual, or as a way to simply connect more with their deck.

Description for The Emperor: There is no arcana more capable of giving form than The Emperor. While The High Priestess provides the raw material and The Empress a period of gestation, The Emperor provides those sturdy walls, legs, and foundation to build upon. With this power, one can begin to connect with their own inner authority, or stated differently, come into the realization that they are the AUTHOR. In this way, The Emperor can help one clearly, precisely, and accurately pen the story of their lives. The Emperor also rules the faculty of sight, so if we don't like what we see, this archetype can help us change view or shift perspectives.

Reflect on the following passage below, designed to further set the stage before you begin.

Reason is my name;

I am the Cornerstone —
The Foundation of Fact...

The Father of All,

Firstborn Child of the Sun...

I am He who conducts the
Grand Orchestra of Thought
From the throne called Mind,

& yet I am but a Window;

The Light of Creation
Shineth ever through me,
& it is I who gives it Form —

But the Form is not the Essence,
Nor is a glimpse the full picture...

Mistake not the builder for the Architect,

Lest ye learn that Knowledge
Itself is the pitfall of the Wise,

& Truth is the biggest of Lies.
