This is a picture of The Empress card from the Mythic Tarot
In The Mythic Tarot, the Empress is embodied by Demeter, the Greek Earth Mother goddess. She represents nurturing, fertility, and the abundance of nature.
As a mother figure, she embodies unconditional love, creativity, and the unfolding of life, appearing when we need to focus on taking care of something or someone.
Her story reminds us of the depth of love and the grief of motherhood, the abduction of her daughter Persephone shows the power of maternal devotion and the resilience of the heart.
She represents fertility, creativity, abundance, and that “mama bear” protection.
Here she is shown as pregnant, she reminds us we are often “pregnant” with new ideas, that need to be nurtured in order to grow.
Who/what are you nurturing today? Let’s share in the comments below.
