Daily Mindfulness  Thoth Deck

The Empress
Normally, I am not a fan of the Empress but the Thoth deck gives her so much more to work with and the card is just gorgeous. From The Book of Thoth, "It is impossible to summarize the meanings of the symbol of the Woman, for this very reason, that she continually recurs in infinitely varied form.
Many throned, many minded, many wiled, daughter of Zeus."

Daleth is where she sits, above the Abyss and quite happy to be there.  This path connects Chokmah and Binah - a path of great love.  Daleth means door and she is the doorway into life and out of life as well.

She is also the second of the alchemical trump cards and represents Salt. She is inactive until she is energized by Sulfur (The Emperor).  Her shield has a white double-headed Eagle holding a Moon which represents the alchemical white tincture that will combine with the Emperor's red tincture in the next card. 

This is a card of Venus, and of love and beauty, pleasure and success, sensuality and balance. Gentle compassion and graciousness. Embrace the divine feminine in you, let your creative self go wild and let your fertile emotions free.  Let her unconditional love flow through you and out into the Universe.
