Today I pulled the Queen of Pentacles. The people I have thought of as being Earth Mothers include my first wife, Candy. Candy was nurturing generous and charitable. She was the one who took care of both my parents as they were at end of their lives. She was an amazing cook and she loved to garden and she loved children and animals. She even cared for the family after her untimely death. Candy left her handwritten cookbook that enabled me to make our sons meals exactly as she had prepared them when she was alive. I still cook Candy's recipes.
In response I am invoking the Empress. This card recognises her power including motherhood and fertility. Candy wanted more children than our first two. She prayed and prayed and then conceived, gave birth to and mothered a child of mine, years after I had a vasectomy following the birth of our second son.
The doctor said it was a one in a million thing. Today, that son turned 35.

This reading is part of my own personal Divination/Invocation practice. As always when I speak of life, love and tarot I speak only for myself.
