The Patron

This card is represented by The Archmother in upright position, and The Hidden King in reversed. They are combined as a single entity on the same card as they resemble both sides to the same coin;

Upright meaning

Although The Archmother has little emotions to show, she resembles a provider and protector who offers stability and security to those whom she cares about.

The Archmother signifies a powerful leader carrying out a crystal clear vision with a methodically planned process. She is highly ambitious, wise, and she does not allow any room for chaos to deconstruct her goals.

Reversed meaning

The Hidden King represents a chaotic or even tyrannical authoritative leader. His oppressive nature leaves you feeling powerless or rebellious, and while he may uphold structure, it is not something that is fit to sustain any living being and he is far from a leader to faithfully rely on.

If you find yourself facing The Hidden King, he may be reflecting your own lack of self-control. You must seek The Archmother to find balance.

“Drifter,” That name cut through Dynamo’s idle thoughts all too well. The way the hidden king seemed to purr out the last letter of the title made–well, didn’t make Dynamo’s skin crawl, but would have, if Dynamo had skin. “You joined for a slaughter, but that does not mean that I will deny you a gift in turn. What would you ask of the Hidden King?”
