V: The Pope

[Mistress Lovely]

 

Ritual and repetition

create a structure

that can replicate.

A consistent pattern

is the need

to continue tradition.

Bridge distance, time.

Pass on form.

Position, greeting, collar.

Sound, scent, touch.

You match footprints

older than you.

If I may be so bold to ask a question Mistress… Did you draw this upright?

The answer isn’t yes but isn’t no. Look into the Marseilles system and see if you can tell me why

I have been enjoying this series of yours.  I kind of hate to see the Pope come up as I often find it something of a difficult card to read.

There was much food for thought here Mistress… thank you. The original Marseille view places a focus on the human as the vessel of authority granted out of social constructs… much like the voluntary power construct between Domme and Sub. Yet the arcana inverted implies a rejection of authority in the traditional societal sense and even a choice to shift to the unconventional…. The Domme / Sub dynamic has been around for ages despite societal norms relegating it to the shadows… so one can argue it is both a traditional human construct of power and authority… and yet still unconventional by societal norms… a “not yes”… but a “not no”… thank you Mistress for such an engaging exercise 🧎🏻🙇🏻
