Summary of the Empress

Machine translation.

The Empress is beautiful and she deploys all the traps of luxury and material power. The Empress holds the scepter, which has been a symbol of power since antiquity and is traditionally linked to gold. It is a derivative of the staff, and in Greek legends, the scepters of the gods possessed miraculous powers.

The sphere or globe are also emblems of the empire, surmounted by the cross to indicate the superiority of the spiritual over the temporal.

The crown is the symbol of material power, but the locks of hair also allude to another aspect of the empress: sensuality, abundance, and fertility. She possesses the bonds with the Mother Earth.

Its shield or coat of arms is adorned with an eagle, a representation of courage and power that adorned the scepters and standards of the Romans. The eagle was adopted by the Crusaders and in mythology.

It was assimilated to the Sun. It has been the imperial or royal emblem in many countries and a religious symbol associated with preaching. The Empress also represents femininity and the generosity of nature.
