The Emperor and the Hanged Man Gold Silver & Bronze The son of an antiqueTarot deck inspiration here but changed. The restlessness of lockdown. Noodles and yoga. Restless legs. Biding time (the Hanged Man is all about having to wait it out). The Emperor is barely there, trying to get warmth from the sunlight through the window but she feels very insubstantial. Shes got noodles but theyre in the Golden Bowl as in the Henry James novel a fractured thing she might end up scalding herself.
