I have taken the name "empressrouge" for a new stage in my life- one of many cycles of rebirth and renewal I will experience. The Empress is a card found in tarot- one of the major arcana symbolizing harmonizing with natural rythms, experiencing the senses, giving and receiving pleasure, appreciating beauty, welcoming abundance, and nuturing and caring for others.
The keywords associated with the empress are abundance, nature, sensing, and mothering. Rouge means red in french. Giving someone a red rose conveys feelings of love, passion, courage and respect.
La Maison Rouge is the red house. a place where you can "drink all of your passion and be a disgrace"... "open your hands if you want to be held"...
"Sit down in this circle". Welcome to La Maison Rouge.
