Okay, so, the other day I was messing around with my tarot deck, right? I’ve been doing this tarot thing for a bit now, just for kicks. I got this deck online – it’s nothing special, but it does the job. Anyway, I’m shuffling the cards, thinking about nothing in particular, and I flip one over. Guess what? It’s The Empress.
Now, if you’ve ever seen tarot cards, you know some of them have these big-deal cards called the Major Arcana. The Empress is one of those. And let me tell you, she’s not just some random lady on a card. She’s like, the queen of the deck. I remember reading somewhere that way back, like in the 15th century in Europe, these cards were used for games. They called it “tarocchi.” Back then, The Empress was shown as this fancy lady sitting on a throne, all dressed up with a crown and everything. A real regal figure, you know?
So, I’m looking at this card, and I start thinking, “What’s the deal with this Empress anyway?” She’s got this vibe, like she’s in charge but also kind of nurturing. It’s a weird mix. I mean, you see her on the card, and she looks all powerful and stuff, but there’s something else there too. It got me curious, so I did a little digging. Turns out, she’s not just a pretty face. There is more meaning behind it.
But here’s the thing about tarot – it’s not like reading a fortune cookie. It’s more about what the card makes you think about, you know? So I’m sitting there, staring at The Empress, and I start thinking about my own life. Like, am I taking charge of things? Am I being nurturing to myself and others? It’s kind of deep for a deck of cards, right? These are things I have been thinking about lately.
- First, I just pulled out the card.
- Then, I started to learn the history.
- Finally, I made some reflections.
That’s the thing about these regal figure tarot cards – they make you think. It’s not just about seeing the future or whatever. It’s about looking at yourself and your life. And honestly, sometimes that’s more interesting than knowing what’s going to happen next week. Who knows, maybe I’ll start seeing myself as a bit of an Empress – taking charge, being all regal and stuff. It’s funny how a simple card can get you thinking like that, isn’t it?
That’s all about my experience.
