i found it from unknown website....no offence pls.....
This card named "the emperor",only those who are strong and cruel enough can be the emperor, and they will be addicted by the prerogative that they holded in hand, and will never try to let go.......
This card is called "the world".
I think i tried to tell thet actually human being themselves form the world,everything started from the creatures name "people".....they look easy, yet complicated.
"MOUTH"
All around me people talk. None of it makes sense. What they have to say about me (and themselves) is untrue. I can see through them clearly, peering straight down their throats. I find the sight vulgar. Their teeth are dirty as well as their lips. They have been chewing on dirt.

Acrylic on gessoed Masonite.Sometimes our eyes are forced open, and we must bear witness to the truth around us, as well as the truth within. I found this process painful. Sometimes I fought with all my might, wishing for the revelations to stop. But just like the painting, my eyes were held open, the process impersonal, mechanized, impossible to stop once begun.

Recently suddenly starts to have enthusiasm on tarot, and i learnt something new about tarot.
These are some information that i got from the net,
"The earliest names for the tarot are all Italian. Originally the cards were called "carte da trionfi" (cards of the triumphs). Around 1530 (about 100 years after the origin of the cards), the word "tarocchi" (singular tarocco) begins to be used to distinguish them from a new game of triumphs or trumps then being played with ordinary playing cards. The etymology of this new word is not known. The German form is "tarock", the French form is "tarot" . Even if the etymology were known, it would probably not tell us much about the idea behind the cards, since it only came into use 100 years after they first appeared. "
"The symbolism of the trumps is drawn from the culture of Medieval and Renaissance Europe. Most tarot subjects are distinctive to European Christendom. Illustrations virtually identical to each of the tarot subjects can be found in European art, and such precise analogs are not found in other cultures."
"...There is no evidence that the Rom (gypsies) used tarot cards until the 20th century. Most of their fortune-telling was through palmistry and later through the use of ordinary playing cards. "
