The Empress - CERIDWEN
POSITIVE: creativity, motherhood, healing, beauty, dedication. NEGATIVE: laziness, excess, envy, sterility, chaos.
She is the protector of affection, a dispenser of a magic that transforms all of those who receive it. The Empress’s greatest teaching is not one of personal power but one of completing one’s mission, just as a son is to his mother.

The HIEROPHANT - SARASWATI
POSITIVE: education, faith, forgive-ness, morality, guidance. NEGATIVE: obtuseness, bigotry, spiritual block, prejudice.
The most powerful learning tool, in fact, is writing. It has etched into the minds of many generations what has been, and it allows them to imagine what can be. Saraswati is eloquent and magnanimous: she suggests to her disciples, “Study your origins. Drink from the spring. It is the only way to change your future and redirect a course of events when it becomes necessary.”

The Lovers - TITANIA
POSITIVE: love, choices, union, romanticism. NEGATIVE: instability, sentimental-ism, impulsiveness, frivolity.
Above all, love, with all its wonder, strangeness, and difficulties, is the ultimate step that leads us toward others and requires us to make choices. In the Land of Fairies, just as in the land of love, you can decide whether you want to blindly follow a selfish whim or whether you will use a truthful eye to recognize what is in front of you as you discover your most intimate part in another.
