Tea-break Tarot School

Morning class.  How’s it going?  How did you get on with The High Priestess?  I like to imagine that I’m spending time with these people on the cards.  What do they feel like?  I feel better when I’ve spent time with the High Priestess, but also a little bit unsettled, I can’t hide anything from her!

Today we are looking at another powerful female archetype, The Empress.

For me this is a card of the good mother.  It asks me to trust in the provision of the universe and also calls to my inner creatrix.

The words which arise when I look at his card:

• nature/ natural
• mother
• abundance
• harvest
• cornucopia
• flourishing
• Thriving
• pregnant (with possibility…)
• creatrix
• power with
• graceful
• tender
• gentle
• strong
• nourishment

Reflection:

Provider, protector,  nurturing presence. She who nourishes, abundant, strong.  Power of nature, creative force, universal mother; my rock, my roots, my safe and sure homecoming.

Exercise 12

Take your card/s.  Set it down in front of you.  Give yourself one minute to soak it in.

• What colours do you notice on your card?
• Are there any symbols?
• Does anything jump into your mind, a memory, an emotion, a word?
• If this woman/ person was talking to you right now what would she say to you?
