Self-care is the practice of taking an active role in protecting one’s own well-being and happiness. In order to do so we must get in touch with who we are at our core. Only then can we realize how we need to “show up in the world”—how we want to express, without any apologies, our most authentic selves.
LESSONS FROM THE EMPRESS focuses on what the tarot can teach us about ourselves and provides exercises to strengthen our confidence in our own creative expression. When we recognize our creative ability (whatever it may be), we are recognizing our ability to express our true selves.
Using the Empress (a symbol of creation and abundance) as a metaphor for the journey, LESSONS FROM THE EMPRESS takes readers on a journey through the tarot using easy-to-follow magical rituals, tarot spreads, and creativity exercises in a way that will empower the reader to embrace their true self and express that self to the world. The journey through the tarot will take the reader through phases of self-care: Major Arcana—spiritual self-care; the Wands—self-awareness; the Swords—self-expression; the Cups—self-love; the Pentacles—self-confidence.
