Archetypes

Image
Warrior of the cross, warrior of faith. Acts not through persuasion, but through force. The destructive energy of the Warrior, combined with the expansion of the Preacher, has manifested in the figure of the Crusader, warrior of faith.
Visual Description
A warrior on horseback rushes toward a burning city. On his shield is a cross - symbol of Christianity, meaning he acts from ideological convictions. But his method is not the word of the Shepherd, but the sword of the Warrior - he imposes his faith by force.
Background Imagery
Behind him - a burning city. In the destroyed city no defending people are visible - no one wars with him, it is he who wars with the entire world. The card often shows the client's career ambitions, the desire to climb the corporate ladder at any cost.
Symbols and Colors
Warrior of the cross - action of force.

How to Behave Among Your Circle
You yourself may unleash a fanatical struggle for your ideas with those around you.

Core Themes
Imposing and defending one's opinion. Fanaticism in all forms. War for an idea. The end justifies the means. I am always right.
State
All forms of fanaticism. Intolerance of others' opinions, others' faith, and defending one's own opinion.
Additional State
Desire to teach everyone, give advice.
Process
Conquering. Conquering one's positions. Nothing is simple, but sacrifices are possible. The Crusader is sometimes unintentionally cruel: 'When you chop wood, chips will fly.'
Relationships
An alliance based on an idea, where aggression is directed outward by both partners against an external enemy. Possible attempts to convert the partner to one's faith, or conversely, stormy ideological and national disputes.
Relationship Dynamics
Often a variant of one partner's submission to another, 'I'm always right, and your place is in the kitchen...'
Warning
Fanaticism. Are ideas worth such sacrifices?
Advice
Defend your opinion, your idea. Be a crusader. Provide an ideological platform for your actions (this is needed, first of all, for your inner peace).
Result
Conquest. The desired will be achieved, but probably at the cost of great losses for those around you.
Additional Notes
Theme of faith, conviction, imposing faith. Militant faith.
