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?
