The Empress Online

By the way...

Re: the post below, the Empress on the left-hand side is from the Ryder-Waitte deck, one of the oldest and best-known (if not THE best-known) tarot decks in print. And, on the right we have Guenevere (King Arthur's wife) as The Empress, in a beautiful design from the 'Legend' deck. And this uhm... older-and-wiser-looking Empress to the right is from what reputedly is THE oldest tarot deck known, the Tarot de Marseille. Call me crazy, but I kind of like the Ryder-Waitte design much better... Not to say anything about the more modern representations.
