Come partake of My fullness
Pick from the Tree of Life
Merge with creation’s flow
~
Plenty and gifts found within
Nourishment and warmth of soul
Come partake of My fullness
~
Offerings of love and bounty
Your pleasure is My delight
Pick from the Tree of Life
~
I am the nurturing Mother
Bringing together her flock
Merge with creation’s flow

“Some themes to consider
Fertility/Pregnancy/childbirth
Femininity
Sensuality
Mother Earth/The role of mother as a nurturer
Feel free to share your own personal experience the story of your children’s births, how life has changed for you on becoming a parent, your experience of pregnancy (from either perspective the expectant mother or father). You can talk about you’re own mother or a mother-like figure in your life (past or present). You can also write about a time in your life where you served as a caregiver and what that experience meant to you. If a long-term caregiver consider talking about stolen moments and the little indulgences that help(ed) keep you sane.”Mindlovemisery

Used to collect Tarot decks. The photo above is new to me, but so rich and satisfying. One of the better depictions of The Empress I have seen. I really like the circle effect you create with your words. It is, in itself, a symbol of wholeness.

When I first saw the picture without reading the poem, I flashed to the Queen of Hearts in Alice and Wonderland. After a second look, she seemed serene and wise and even supernatural. Now I get it, a template for Mother Nature.
