Card III: The Empress
The fourth card of the Major Arcana in my (in progress) Tarot deck: "Goldenmaw", hand drawn by Adept Artshop artist and creator West Short.
About the Empress (My own intention):
Queen of Nature. an expression of fertility and chaotic order. A card of a mother, one who fosters, who builds organically the internal and external worlds with divine orchestration. Germination in idea or thought, the beginning of a cultivating path or journey. Like a seed setting off to touch the skies. This is a card of potential and its birth.
While backpacking the US and selling artwork in Boulder, Colorado. I was asked by a stranger/teacher/card reader to create a Tarot deck. What he taught me was foreign but insightful and has been in the process of creation for a while now. This deck, called "Goldenmaw", is being drawn intuitively and from imagination.
