Synopsis

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 listeners on a journey through the tarot using easy-to-follow magical rituals, tarot spreads, and creativity exercises in a way that will empower listeners to embrace their true self and express that self to the world. The journey through the tarot will take listeners through phases of self-care: Major Arcana?spiritual self-care; the Wands?self-awareness; the Swords?self-expression; the Cups?self-love; and the Pentacles?self-confidence.

Goodreads review by Taylor on March 21, 2024

I've read both of Cassandra Snow's prior titles, and revere them highly for showing us what Witchcraft Can Be. Growing up in and religiously traumatized by Catholicism, there are certain aspects of Tarot (and Witchcraft in general) that gave me pause while studying - gender binary, capitalistic them......more

Goodreads review by Denise on October 24, 2022

Lessons from the Empress helps you get in touch with your inner Empress to bring out your creativity and cultivate ways to express and love yourself. No prior tarot knowledge is needed but this isn't a tarot 101 book. Seasoned card readers will get plenty out of this as it's more about self-care and......more

Goodreads review by Nicole on October 09, 2023

While this was well-written, it was a little too basic for me. I have been reading Tarot for myself for over 20 years, and much of this is at an introductory level. That being said, if you are interested in learning Tarot, I recommend this book.......more
