Music, canoeing, hiking, walking my dog, container gardens, hack poetry and verbal banter. I get stressed out fairly easily, so any and all of my interests can become coping mechanisms at a moments notice. Note: Banter turns into tirade once I hit the boiling point.
If it were possible, Ella Fitzgerald, Eleanor Roosevelt, Amy Lee, Tori Amos. I also think it'd be a hoot to have coffee with Sam Clemens and Dorothy Parker.Don't be fooled by the fluffy exterior though--if I can't access your profile I won't add you. No offense. Just saving us both time and trouble.
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.
