Tuesday Tarot – The Emperor (V)

I like this Hello Kitty Emperor. Somehow he speaks to me of all the positive aspects of the Emperor, without the overbearing aspects of the patriarchy that I always see.

The Emperor is the guiding hand of your father figure (although like many fathers he is often too controlling) He is business minded and efficient (but often hidebound), He is steadfast and loyal (but often unbending and judgmental).

He is the quintessential male energy with all of it’s beauty and poison, and I adore him.

I don’t know if Tarot Tuesday is on hiatus (Deb’s been writing up a storm everywhere else), or gone for good, but I’ll keep on with my weekly tarot posts just the same.

Peace, out!

Tuesday Tarot #4 The Empress (IV)

This image is so evocative of my understanding of this card. When I see The Empress I always feel pregnant. Pregnant with ideas, thoughts, creation… magick. The Empress speaks to me of manifestation. Of nurturing a seed to sprout, a seedling to grow and flower, a flower to bring forth fruit.
The Empress is mother, matriarch. She is caregiver and caretaker; the benevolent ruler of her demesnes. She is earthy and healthy and fecundity. She luxuriates in her senses and surroundings. She loves beauty and sensuality and is, in fact, sensuality personified.

When you see the Empress see yourself in her. Consider creation and birth and growth. Feel your nurturing, loving expression in your family and among your close friends. How does she relate to your life right now? Are you nurturing yourself and others? Are you in a creative process and about to give birth? When the Empress appears in your reading you are probably full with life and love and luxuriating in abundance. Enjoy!

Tarot Tuesday The High Priestess (II)
The High Priestess card always speaks to me of potential. It is the number 2 card, the first card carrying the energy of duality which is reflected in the black and white pillars on either side of the central image. She is what may be, what could be. She is possibility and wishes and the planting of seeds in Spring. Often she represents hidden or unformed knowledge or talent. She can stand for activities or business ventures still in the brainstorming stage, ripe for action but not yet put into play.

She is the eternal virgin. The thought before action, the tapasia that occurs before manifestation, the seed. The High Priestess is a card of “readiness“.

What ideas do you have? What projects would you like to begin? What kinds of plants will grow from the seeds of thought that you want to plant? Are there hidden and as yet unknown potentials within you that you must explore? The High Priestess is poised for action. Will you heed her message and act/be/become/create/manifest?
