Possible alignment with The Empress or The High Priestess
The number five card in the deck.
An elegant but simply clad, older woman stands slightly akimbo. Her gaze is piercing . Her face cracked and worn but her eyes clearly indicate no loss of mental process.
There is a powerful female influence in this card. One which is demanding and controlling. One which can use the powers of the Old Ways of Wicca to control the outcome of a situation. In past or present positions one would look for a woman or power and determination, possibly an authentic witch but certainly a master of her craft. One who will hold the last word on any determination which is to be made, one which will use her power to make the situation to her likeness.
In an inverted position a female who has lost her touch with the power of the feminine. A woman who is constrained. A female influence which demonstrates great potential but lacks the ability to see the conclusion. Possibly a bad influence surrounding the other cards. A bad witch.
It should be noted that The Old Ways of Wicca were often represented by the Empress card in older tarot decks. She was often imaged as the Earth Mother. There is little room for such interpretation in this card.
