The Empress card clearly depicts the Mother aspect of the Goddess.

The Mother aspect is summer, the ripening of all things. The Mother aspect is the re-creation of life both plant and animal. She is the high point in all cycles. The Mother aspect is the boiling cauldron, the creative pot and the ripeness of womanhood, the day, lustiness, reproduction - creation in any form are all within Her realm.

The Mother is associated with adulthood and parenthood. It is through the mother aspect that we learn valuable lessons in self-discipline, patience and responsibility. Every act of love is a ritual to the Mother Goddess!

As the keeper of spiritual treasure the Mother sits on her throne in the cnetre of the labyrinth patiently waiting for every individual to find his or her way to her. Her sexuality is developed a natural part of life. She is confident and she is the joy in every moment. She is the full moon or the fullness of menstrual life. To Males she is the urge to procreate to bond with another adult for life companionship.

The Mother is the fullness of life, the Creatress, the wheel turner for the seasons, the divine receptacle for all knowledge. Sometimes she was called Earth Mother (Gaia), sometimes she was called Sky Mother She is the divine teacher at the centre of the spiritual Labyrinth, the one who initiates seekers into the deeper mysteries. The Mother is the guardian of the treasure the Empress of the inner and outer worlds.
