Jewel
Continuing our discussion of the cards ... here is my sense of the Empress:
WHAT DO YOU SEE? I see a woman who's throne is the center of a daisy. The daisy is one amongst a field of daisies in the sky. The woman's arms and face are lifted to the heavens. She wears a crown of 12 golden spheres. Her legs have become part of the field of daisies. She is one with nature and it is in tune with her as well. The has some soft clouds and the outline of the full moon (or earth?) is behind her. She has a mandala on her chest where her heart chakra is located. A bee has flown out of it and she has been gently wrapped with a yellow spiral formed by the bees flight from her heart chakra, to behind her back, to then in front of her.
WHAT COLORS DO YOU SEE? blue, white, yellow, gold, and green.
WHAT SYMBOLS ARE THERE? spirals representing cycles; blooming flowers representing growth and life; the 12 spheres of her crown or halo representing the 12 signs of the zodiac; the mandala representing the tapestry of the heart connection with its surroundings; the woman representing the goddess, mother earth; the bees symbolizing the process of pollenation and fertility.
WHAT HUMAN AND ANIMAL FIGURES DO YOU SEE? a woman and 3 bees.
DESCRIBE THE CARD IN TERMS OF AN EMOTION. HOW DO YOU FEEL WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT? Harmony.
To me this card is all about our connection with all of nature and the cosmos. It is about fertility, nurturing and growth.
Love & Light,
