question

If I wanted to send a friend a tarot card or a picture of a goddess or some single symbol that repsesents self confidence, independence, the ability to break away and act alone, inner strength, and the ability to connect to one's own worthiness, what would I send her?

Major arcana: Strength

A woman in white with a lemniscate hovering over her head, a lion.


Strength is about combining two strengths to overcome weakness. The Maiden is weak of form, but her mastery of herself is powerful. The Lion is strong of form, but weak when it comes to mastering himself. The Maiden's commands overcome the Lion's weakness, and his form overcomes the Maiden's weakness. This is why the Maiden doesn't try to harness the lion to a chariot, nor does she run from it or try to kill it. She meets its eyes, touches it, embraces it. This is a card about understanding our wild natures, accepting them, yet also gentling those passions so that they work for us rather than against us. Putting these two strengths together creates perseverance, personal honor, and courage.

Thanks.

I want to send my cousin powerful images as she faces a difficult challenge. Self esteem and co-dependency are her biggest issues.

She is lovely and I want to see her succeed.

what a wonderful site. Already, I have self-identified clearly with 3 of the goddesses. In a way, they are almost me as 3 stages of my life.

When I have more time, I will do the quiz...
