The Empress — Two Tarot Designs
Two crowned women occupy parallel throne designs, each accompanied by an eagle shield and a long sceptre. Wings, stars and the arrangement of the headwear distinguish their different treatments of the same card. The comparison accompanies Papus’s interpretation of the third arcanum in The Tarot of the Bohemians.
