The Empress

The Empress is also known as the Earth Mother or Tarot Mother for she is strong, loving and fertile. Like the Earth Goddesses of ancient times she is in harmony with nature and a symbol of childbirth and reproduction. She knows the mysteries of life and has the answers to many esoteric questions. The Empress is a dominant feminine card that indicates a powerful female influence.

Dignified: Your harvest is about to be reaped, spiritual and material abundance lie in store once the crop has ripened. You are under the protection of the Tarot mother who provides security and promotes growth. This card signifies strong creative potential. Trust your instincts and don't be afraid to try something a little different. Hops, barley, and yeast are gifts from the Earth Mother and when combined give birth to beer. Drink beer and fortify yourself with the Empress's blessing.

Ill dignified: Poverty, sterility, and emotional insecurity are all aspects of the ill-dignified Empress. A possible overbearing female influence that smothers creativity and slows progress. The harvest has been left in the field to rot. Avoid beer it will only bring you sorrow and pain.
