Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The Empress tarot card is the key to understanding how creative expression is the foundation of true self-care. Our authentic self, this abundant space, is not something we go find—it's something we create. Lessons from the Empress will guide you on an exploration of the five phases of self-care: Major Arcana for spiritual self-care; the Wands for self-awareness; the Swords for self-expression; the Cups for self-love; and the Pentacles for self-confidence.

In Lessons from the Empress, with the Empress as your guide, you'll learn how to practice self-care and self-discovery in several ways:

  • See the Empress as a metaphor for your personal journey.
  • Get in touch with who you are at your core.
  • Take an active role in protecting your own well-being and happiness.
  • Use easy-to-follow magical rituals, tarot spreads, and creativity exercises to embrace your true self and express that self to the world.

Lessons from the Empress offers a hands-on guidebook to better mental and spiritual wellness. When the world needs these lessons the most, Snow and Plouff come through for us all. — Benebell Wen, author of Holistic Tarot
