Empress

At every reading one or two cards will speak to you more strongly than the others.  Then I tell you that your home work after the reading is to search the web  - this blog,  my pintrest page, just google images and find a version of that card that speaks to you. Then keep it close - on your phone, printed out by your computer,  close to remind you of that energy and how to follow/preserve it better.

For example this is the traditional image from the Rider Waite tarot deck of the Empress

And these are a few of the images you can find on line

From the Tarot Deck of Luminaries

or

 

from Tarot Illuminati deck

All quite different images,  which might speak to you differently.

And this is the image I saw to today that really caught my eye.  I tell people that the Empress is often shown as pregnant,  she can give birth to new ideas,  new ventures,  new baby (always a very happy card to draw for those trying to get pregnant!)  And here she is,  an image that just spoke to me about what the card represents:

Lightseer’s Tarot by Chris-Anne Donnelly

One of the big things that has changed since I started reading tarot is how many new decks/images there are today.  There are an abundance of ideas and it's always good to have a look around and see which version speaks most clearly to you...
