Here's a new card, which I can now attach to this thread because I just became a member!
I really enjoyed making this card. I've had trouble with the Empress in the past- she seemed so one-dimensional, like a cliche instead of an archetype. I'm so glad I got to know her better.
In my deck, the Empress and Emperor are rulers in their own solipsistic universes, trapped (or exalted) by their own ideal utopian visions of the world. The Empress believes in a world in which she need exert no force or dictatorial control. She believes in the inherent wisdom and capability of each component of her world, the rights of freedom and autonomy, the burden on responsibility taken off her shoulders. Love through total non-control, like the natural world itself.
