3 - The Empress
The Fool journeys to The Empress and meets the earth mother, who teaches him about nurturing, growth, and pure, unconditional love. She gives life and is fertile, creative, and abundant. Growth is built upon sincerity and affection and tells us that listening to your heart is a wise thing when she appears. By following The Empress, The Fool finds on his journey that family, loved ones, and friends are valuable; they ground us, and he can sit and be nourished by his surroundings.
With The Empress we find love, unconditional sincere understanding and affection. We find compassion being present, needed, offered or wished for.
We find a time of soft, gentle comforts, emotional fulfilment and satisfaction can be found within relationships, especially within family and loving relationships. Things can feel very simple with this card, and with a need to create such a vibe, make things about love and simplify those things about you down to that denominating factor – if it is not unconditional, a reset may be needed.
We can wish to be The Empress at times, to be creative, fertile, motherly, and express love or alternately have a deep yearning need to be wrapped up in such feelings to heal and feel emotionally fed. The former can show us stepping up to the needs of our loved ones, the latter a need to go home, in what ever context that means to you. As the mother of the tarot deck, we can step into her protective element, with compassion, which we must also remember to extend to oursevels.
Some may find fertility and issue when this card arrives, a calling of the basic driving forces present within all of us, such as a need to be loved and procreation and for those looking at issues relating to pregnancy and children, here you have a positive card, a green light a time to flow toward what you wish.
Our emotions are not static right now, they move and change as love is expressed, and now is a time to listen to and follow our hearts.

If you’re thinking of having a reading I can really recommend Pam
She is so intuitive and gets right to the heart of the matter
Her warmth comes through and even though nothing is sugar coated I find her reassuring

I ordered a book (Understanding Tarot) online, but it was taking too long to get here. Ends up Amazon has it for Kindle as well and it’s on sale right now. I bought the kindle addition and oh, my goodness! If you don’t have this book, you’ll want to get it. Every card is described in great detail and so much information about tarot. I can’t wait to dive into the book! Thank you Pam Richards for sharing your knowledge with everyone. I won’t need anymore tarot books or manuals now.

Love this. Thank you so much for putting into words the things I could not and allowing me to think on this over this last week. Your take on the rocked my world! So helpful to see your perspective on it all!

I recently requested a Reader's Choice reading from Pam. I felt it would give her more space to go where spirit moved her. I read it several times over the course of about a week and a half to digest its elements. The reading is so beyond accurate, it's amazing and demonstrates to me that Pam knows people and is in touch with universal energy and sprit.
To say that I highly recommend a reading with Pam is an understatement. And such a lovely, gentle, genuine person too.
