The Empress is an archetype of feminine power; she is watery, hard to fathom, mysterious, fertile, and sexual. She augurs a need for us to be in touch with our feminine side, to listen to our intuition, and to give priority to our emotions and passions. The Empress does not play by the rules. She has her own way of doing things and her own idea of what is right and what is wrong in any and all endeavors. That doesn’t mean she will always get her way, but she is a reminder not to ignore your creative and intuitive side. She can signify coming abundance but don’t make the mistake of thinking that that will always mean financially. There are many types of wealth and richness in life and money is only one of them. The Empress can encompass any or all of them.

Portable Magic
Book Details
Portable Magic: It may seem strange that the magician enters one of the cards during rituals of Tarot magic. In the Western esoteric tradition, it is usual for the magician to remain within his or her own body during the greater part of ritual work. This is not equally so in the magic of the East. Tibetan magicians work with esoteric designs laid out upon the floor or the ground that express in symbolic form astral temples, astral landscapes, or entire planes of being without physical reality. They project themselves into these pictures by identifying themselves with a small token, which they place within the design, usually at its centre. As long as the token that embodies their identity remains within the design, they are present and self-aware in the astral reality that the design represents.

Reversed Cards: Manifestation energy does not like to be blocked. It gets very unhappy when it cannot create all the wonderful things it can imagine, and this is exactly how you and the Empress are feeling, like someone is standing on the hose of your creation energy. Like someone somewhere is denying you what you are screaming you want and need. The only problem is it’s not someone else—it’s you. Somewhere in the energy of the Empress, she is torn, not truly convinced that the thing she claims she wants will bring her the experience she craves. This conflict is blocking her power and obscuring her vision. In other words, she is not totally in love with the things she wants to create. This is how it works for threes. If they can’t feel it in the extreme energy of their heart, they can’t create it. Instead, they remain blocked and frustrated. So take a minute and think about what it is you are claiming you want or need. Place your hand over your heart, close your eyes, take a few deep breaths, and ask yourself, ‘Am I in love with this person, thing, idea, or situation? Does it really fill me with joy? What is it distracting me from?’ When you have your answers, don’t ignore them. Use them to turn this card around and get you back into the abundant flow of the Empress and the power of the three.

Creative Tarot: The first thing you’ll want to do when you are learning the tarot is to draw one card every morning. Let it represent your day ahead. I still do this, actually. If you have to remind yourself what the card means, then refer back to the card definitions here or in another guide. Maybe search for information about the card online; get some differing opinions.
