The King of Swords (and I now have chills)

I ask everyone to remember that the description of the card is as important as the Divinatory meaning of it.

The King of Swords stands on a ledge inside a great underground cavern. The cavern is part of the interior of an active volcano, a place of primordial energy for either creation or destruction. In one hand the king holds a sword (his strength of will) as he stares down into the bubbling lava and fierce fire. He has studied long and hard to learn how to reach this divine, but potentially volatile, center of power within himself. Looking up at him out of this pit of rolling heat and molten rock is a large Fire Dragon, with a baby on it's shoulder. The king has learned through life experience that he must take responsibility for all his actions and uses of magickal energy. He has mastered self-control of his emotions, knowing when to defend and when to release. He knows he can now walk through fire and control his fear of unexpected events. His crown represents spiritual enlightenment, the result of a lifetime of searching. Behind him, up the flight of stairs, sets his massive throne, symbolic of stability and security. The king descended the stairs, deep into his subconcious mind, and now makes contact with universal, manifesting power, from which he will mold his desires into actuality.

The Divinatory Meaning:

This card suggests a powerful but stubborn masculine influence which may be opposing you. In a new project, do everything exactly by the rules or you will lose.
