Abundance and Fallow Fields

From the Gaian Tarot, the Gardener (Empress); from the Goddess Oracle, Kali:

Even beneath the lively bloomed flowers of spring, always lie the dead fallen leaves of autumn.

― Lakshya Chouhan

The Empress represents Nature's abundance - is there anything more sensual and creative than Nature herself? She tells us that we all are fertile with seeds of vision and innovation just waiting to be planted and promises to help us cultivate them, empowering us with nurturing and love. Unlike her husband, the Empress has no boundaries - her motto might be "More!" Yet Kali, the fierce form of the Hindu Mother Goddess, reminds us of impermanence and death. Both terrifying and tender, she teaches us to be free from fear, accepting that there is a time to plant and a time to plow under. Fallow fields encourage the development of fertile, rich soil, and allow us to sow and grow new seeds.
