Crook & Flail as the way you can become better connected with your emotions

In ancient Egyptian times, the Crook and Flail were emblems of the Pharaoh’s authority and a hint of that energy is retained by this card. It carries the same implication wherever it appears – from the smallest private social group to the largest corporation. This card talks about leadership, authority and the self-discipline required to achieve both of them.
If the Crook and Flail card appears as the way you can better connect to your emotions, usually it’s because you are experiencing some sort of leadership or authority issue. It’s a very ‘grown-up’ energy in that there’s not much room for fun with this card. Just a ‘knuckle down, get it done’ kind of vibe. But acknowledging that you’re a leader, whether you want to be or not is a step towards feeling better about your situation and reengaging with your truth.

It’s likely that it’s time for you to step up and take your place in the world. This card also implies authority within the home, club or team and its appearance refers to worldly status. Is it time that you set more boundaries? It looks like doing so will help you reconnect.
Choosing the Crook and Flail as the way you can become better connected with your emotions is an indicator that you need to start putting your own needs before the needs of the people around you – especially if you are going to be able to help them. Put your own oxygen mask on first. That way you can help from your best self – rather than a depleted version.
