Section 1 – Disks or Diamonds.
King of Disks

A traffic cop signals a Mercedes S600 to stop. The "new Russian" pulls over, but doesn't get out of the car. The traffic cop waits for the driver to go up to him. A minute or two passes. Finally, the window of the Benz is rolled down:

– OK, pal, I haven't got all day. Which one of us here, in fact, actually needs the dough? Me or you?

The King, according to the Kabbalah, is the law, the law-giver and law-maker, a wielder and conductor of Power.

The object through which Power "manifests", controls, or is conveyed to the world.

Accordingly, the King of Disks is a Power Conductor of Matter or Finance.

In the Material world, he may symbolize, for example, a crane at a construction site.

In the Financial world, for example, he may symbolize the main formative market players. Such as, for instance, the dominant world currencies – the dollar, the pound, the euro, etc.

The defining feature of the King of Disks – he is the Law for Matter (or Finance). Power passes THROUGH him, he conducts it. It doesn't "revolve around" him, as is the case of the Queen.
