The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents, beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful.
The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.
PRAY FOR UNDERSTANDING THIS IN THE ~UNIVERSAL~ SCHEME OF ALL THINGS
Remember when i asked if ANYBODY REALLY READ THESE THINGS??
apparently, this guy Rockstar did and surmised that i should stop saying that no one reads my profile which makes me think it's time for an update on this thing hmmmm.. still, if you happen to read the damn thing, please let me know..i can tell when i'm chatting with someone who's bothered to take the time to read what i've expressed about myself..
~ i am still going through the seven stages of grief and as the pendulum balances out life is returning to normalcy as much as possible. Working on taking my own advice, which is..
life goes on by paul hanley
LIFE IS A GIFT, CHERISH WHAT YOU'VE BEEN GIVEN..
my son now has his own dedicated internet and cable and is becoming well adjusted to school & living with me after his father's passing.
my daughter has returned home because she needs to be close to home while she copes with her grief over her father's passing.
i am attempting to stay offline, be creative and get ART work done..
i've extended my niece's challenge to lose some weight to next year's birthday and intend to do just that so i will be fitter and curvier by September 2009;)..
will be updating all this on fubar, which i will use to chronicle my life to some extent so it won't be a completely totally useless outlet.. i've made some cool cyber friends, still wondering why i'm so ADDICTED TO THE FU *lol*..
I'm looking for love and am not averse to finding THE REAL THING here.. HAH! and if you're read this far let me know..
other than that,
i'm not looking to have cyber sex, or to cam..
and please don't ask me for my email unless you've taken the time (a loonnnggg while) to get to know me
i am always thankful for my fubar friends and fans who send me comments and rate my stash and my photos!
Please feel free to GET TO KNOW ME FOR REAL!!
ADD/RATE/FAN/COMMENT MY PICS & PROFILE AND I WILL BE HAPPY TO DO THE SAME!
SEPT 11, 2008 TO SEPT 11, 2009 IS MY BIG JUBILEE YEAR!!
This fubar place is interesting.. I found it quite accidentally and as I enjoy being able to play at expressing myself and being able to relate to people from all over the place, I'm really relishing another outlet for writing and for self-expression. I'm a student of being here now and I believe that each moment is precious because there is some kind of discovery, whether it's something I've experienced that is personal, social, psychological, mental, spiritual or what ever other sense, that I get to experience in this body temporarily in the space time continuum. it's a rather unique experience.. but that may be a little TMI... so tell me, what did you expect?
In every one of these experiences, negative or positive, I've gained a seed of growth and a sense of understanding . I'm at the age and stage of my life where my perspective is unencumbered and I seem to have become solid yet flexible from my amorphous beginnings.. so let's raise a glass to evolution and revolution..
Want to talk to anyone with a exploring mind..
i'm an artist, exploring my creativity and sometimes i and my muse do hit the collective, a nerve or paydirt and reaching for the big picture and to ascend jacob's ladder or to evolve out of the skin's limitations.. my art is housed here i'm on myspace at
i got a live journal, i'm was on consumating (which is now defunct as of 3/14/08), i'm on tribe.net, i got a yahoo 360 and an msn live space.. online waayyy too much really *lol*..
i'm just one of those people who believe that we are stewards of this planet and we are wwwaaayyy behind the ball in taking care of it.. instead we exploit and abuse it and the creatures we are meant to take care of..it makes me sad and i hope to do what i can to help.
I believe in humanitarian causes and to that end, I've chosen to focus on..
Earth Ecology Recovery and Earth day 2008 is coming up on April 21, 2008, I hope to be participating in cleaning up a modicum of the trash we've strewn and to educate people about healing our planet and the creatures we're here to take care of..
Here's a very educational series called Altered Oceans from the L.A. Times. LOOK AT THIS PICTURE AND TELL ME.. WHAT ARE WE HUMAN BEING DOING???? sad.. so very sad...
I've always loved horses and am planning to become more active in Horse & Mustang rescue.. one of my co-workers has a sister who's deeply involved and has founded Return to Freedom.Org, which has a number of acres close to central coast of California and her goal is to provide immediate rescue and sanctuary to the beautiful wild horses and to protect their freedom, diversity and habitats for generations to come.'.. what a heartfelt cause..
