From the Dark Goddess Tarot, the Empress (Dark Madonna); from the Tattwa Cards, Earth/Seed of Water:
My grandsons' elementary school had very few white children, so it wasn't unusual to see brown Santa decorations around Christmas. Humans tend to like their heroes to look like them. But it was unusual for the Black Madonna to show up in the predominantly white-skinned Europe. It appears we prefer our miracle workers to be different and unique. This Mother of Miracles encourages us to wish for the best outcome for all concerned, keeping our heart open and not limiting any situation by our definition of 'best'. Earth/Seed of Water suggests boldness in putting a new venture in motion, yet accepting the help of our allies when doing so. However, those partners may be different than we imagine. In the words of Bonnie Hammer: "This is the person you think is your antagonist, who ends up being your greatest ally: the person who pushes, criticizes, and challenges you to meet a standard of excellence you might not otherwise achieve."
