I referenced [Robert Place’s ](https://www.google.com/search?q=Robert+Place%27s+Alchemical+Renewed+the+empress&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwjy7q6lzLXuAhV6IjQIHaULAiUQ2-cCegQIABAC&oq=Robert+Place%27s+Alchemical+Renewed+the+empress&gs_lcp=ChJtb2JpbGUtZ3dzLXdpei1pbWcQAzIECCEQCjoECCMQJzoHCCMQsAIQJzoFCCEQqwI6BAgeEApQ8VRYjnVg-nVoAHAAeACAAegBiAHFDZIBBjAuMTEuMZgBAKABAcABAQ&sclient=mobile-gws-wiz-img&ei=qPENYPL6J_rE0PEPpZeIqAI&bih=553&biw=375&prmd=nisv&rlz=1CDGOYI_enUS708US708&hl=en-US#imgrc=PrtJ0tSLjYEvYM) interpretation of The Empress. He posed her nude (instead of with the pomegranate dress you usually see). I made this card because my mother recently got divorced so I wanted to highlight the natural elegance of the female form to remind her of her own beauty :). I added the pomegranate at my moms request lol. I used the gold to highlight the fruits importance. To my mom the pomegranate represents her children and her nurturing spirit. So I put it on the tree to be directly connected to nature since that’s also important to her.

Overall I think I killed it! My mom already showed her spiritual guide the card and they both were blown away!!!
