No sacred feminine. No love and light. No fertility. 

This is a re-examination of the Empress, looking at the complexities of her as an embodiment of a true Earth Mother / Mother Earth archetype. This episode explores the symbolism in tarot depictions, looks at the nuance in her invitations, and the shadow aspects to be mindful of in working with her. The Empress works with the cycles of life and death, and is a warrior for the rights of all. Not demure or submissive, she knows the power of boundaries, of rest, and of action. She channels the dark into the light with alignment, holding the wisdom and resources to create beauty amidst the brutality. 

The main themes we discuss in this episode are:

• How the Empress works with the cycles of life and death
• Leans into the ugliness of this world for change
• How she is a warrior queen, warrior archetype, and a fighter for the marginalized
• How she appears in a movie
• Card and imagery depictions
