Channeled guidance:
The Empress is rich with motherly love, grounded presence, and boundless wisdom. They are a kind and patient entity, in no hurry, and ever-present in this world.
Their body is settled on the surface of the planet, arms stretched wide to the east and west, touching the mountains. Behind them is North; in front is South. Above and just behind their head is a large orb of orange-gold… with a pupil or a crater or an energy center, depending upon whether you see this as an eye, a planet, or a halo. From their root extends a golden grounding cord, moving down into the soil of the earth.
These elements—the orb above and slightly behind, the arms stretching out side to side, the grounding cord—create a shape akin to Ankh (the symbol of life) or the symbol for the planet Venus. For the Empress is fertile and is the Mother of all. They’re generous and wise, and they love you unconditionally. Allow them to ground you, to hold you, and to nourish you.
Plant and metal guidance:
Fern (imprint of leaf on light brown arch): We are ancient beings, from a long lineage of strength and patience. We hope to transfer these qualities to the humans who need them.
Coreopsis (golden color of orb, golden grounding-cord): We are here to smooth out any sharp edges and to aid in opening hearts.
Black walnut (bottom half of figure, brown circle in orb, brown parts of ground): The strength of our magic lies in our ability to clear space and provide opportunities for recharging and resetting.
Indigo (blue of mountains and ground): We release our beauty when we choose, sometimes as we respond to delicate but powerful alchemy. We offer you reminders of boundaries and patience in releasing your own beauty.
Copper Oxide (blue/grey crystal formation in orb): I magnify the properties of whatever plants I touch or impact.
