As seen on Michelle's blog You are The Empress Beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, luxury, dissipation. The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents, beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful. The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her. What Tarot Card are You? Take the Test to Find Out. This is a very delinqent post about my latest SP9 package. She sent me a great book on sock knitting (how convenient, because I think I have some sock yarn around here somewhere...), as well as some tea, chocolate, and treats for the kitties. As you can see - Kyle did quality control on the milk chocolate/almond bar before I could even get the camera out (it's the bar on the bottom which has already been opened). The Knitting on the Road book might be put to work shortly - Michelle the yarn pusher dyed some sock yarn in Bears colours (without even realizing her brilliant idea), and I plan to knit Kyle a pair of socks out of it - he is a HUUUGE Bears fan. I picked up some navy blue Kroy yarn to use for toes/heels/cuff. I think this Sweet Sheep yarn is self striping, and I'm going to use the book as a reference, and possibly use one of the patterns.
