So, I hear tell there’s this crossword puzzle, see? And in this puzzle, they got this clue: “Regal figure on a tarot card”. Now, what in tarnation is a tarot card, you might ask? Well, it’s like a deck of picture cards, and folks use ‘em to tell fortunes or somethin’. I ain’t never messed with ‘em myself, seems like a whole lotta hocus pocus if you ask me, but to each their own, I always say.
Anyways, this here clue, “Regal figure on a tarot card”, it’s got folks scratchin’ their heads. But the answer, they say, is EMPRESS. Yep, that’s it. Empress. Sounds like a queen or somethin’, right? All high and mighty.
Now, this Empress card, it ain’t just some pretty picture. It means somethin’. They say it stands for, you know, good stuff. Like lovin’ folks without expectin’ nothin’ back. Like a mama bear, they say, always lookin’ out for her cubs. That’s what this Empress is all about, apparently. Kindness and generosity, that sort of thing.

Now, this here Empress, she ain’t the only card in the deck, mind you. There’s Kings and Queens and Knights and all sorts of other characters. Each one got its own meanin’, I reckon. Like the King of Pentacles, they say he’s all about money, and the Queen, she’s kind and giving. Then there’s the swords, which sound a bit scary. The King of Swords is cold and picky, and the Queen, well, they say she’s downright mean.
But we’re talkin’ about the Empress here, the regal one. So, she’s all about the good stuff, remember? Love, kindness, takin’ care of folks. That’s the kinda woman I like to be around, even if she is just a picture on a card.

She’s just a symbol of good things, like a warm hug or a helping hand. And that’s somethin’ we can all use a little more of, ain’t it?
And let me tell you, I’ve seen a thing or two in my life. Seen folks come and go, seen good times and bad. And one thing I know for sure is that kindness and love, that’s what really matters. Not all this fancy talk about “major arcana” and “pentacles” and whatnot. Just plain old goodness. That’s what the Empress stands for, and that’s good enough for me.
