I´d like to start a thread for The Lady. I hope it´s ok. for you? I´d very much like to hear your comments on this card.
The Lady is sitting on a throne by the river. It´s summer, maybe August, since the wheatfields are yellow and the apples are already getting red. Her pregnancy is very advanced. She represents the abundance of Mother Nature. There are flowers and fruits everywhere.
What is she looking at? Her big belly? Or the flowing waters below?
Her expression shows some fear and uncertainty. She also looks very young. which bothers me a little, since she IS the Goddess after all (according to the book). So why should she be afraid or uncertain?
I really love the little statue of the Venus of Willendorf at her feet. There are flowers around it,too, as if this young Goddess would have been connecting with the ancient one.Maybe she has had a ritual for the Venus of Willendorff. They´re both pregnant and they both share the secrets of the journeys into and out of life. They both represent aspects of the Great Goddess.
The throne has three dots which according to the book remind us of the triple nature of the Goddess and also of the Celtic legend of Ceridwen and Gwion. The same three dots can also be seen in the Three of Swords, in the Chariot and in the King of Pentacles´ throne.
What if the wheat she holds is cut from the field in the Hanged Man card, with the sickle which is there on the field? Who has cut it? The Hanged Man and the Lady are both waiting for something. For the child to be born perhaps?
