Interpretation of the card:
An old man sits in a cold and barren mountain landscape. He raises his index finger and points to the lines of an old law book with his other hand, as if to say "Beware and recognize your own laws. Without that, you can't progress." Behind him is a gate, barred by a crown, which leads to objectivity and he guards it. Beyond that gate, man is the king of a realm different from what the Ego card declares. However, first you must understand death (represented by the skull) and time (represented by the hourglass). The old man's face may appear strict and hard, but there is a hint of sympathy for those who are not yet ready to take responsibility.
The meaning of the Master Symbolon card
1) As a single or first card︱ The problem
WHAT IS THE SUBJECT?
You have hardened yourself internally, donning an armor that prevents others from penetrating you or getting close to your soul. You have retreated to a high mountain peak or fortress of solitude, condemning the "children" of the world and blocking access to your own inner child and heart with your misguided notion of adulthood. The world is not at fault for your withdrawn soul, as this fortress exists within you, not in the outside world. Take responsibility for this construction by observing this aspect of yourself.
2) As the next card︱Way through the problem
HOW TO DEAL WITH IT?
Your path through the challenge requires you to learn to approach life with gravity. This is no longer a game, this time you must confront the issue with sincerity. Cease blaming others for your difficulties and do not believe that they can relieve you of them. It's about maturing, becoming a grown-up as you progress.
3) as the last card︱Result
WHERE DOES IT LEAD?
As a result of your journey, you have come to understand the power of fate that governs you and is beyond the influence of anyone. You must bow to this power and accept the responsibility it carries, saying a resounding "yes".
