Herenna - southpaw for now

I'm drowsier than usual this evening, let's see if I can read a card any better like this. Random card: The High Priestess.

This one doesn't come up very often for me. First impression of the image - peaceful but combined with quiet and extremely firm determination. Gentle but very "don't mess with me". The Emperor may hold temporal power, but he's a pussy cat compared to her.

In this deck, the tall slim blonde woman is standing at the edge of a circle in the grass, momentarily paused in what she was doing. There's a forest and a stream behind her, and several different kinds of animals (most of these and the plants are associated with one goddess or another) are all around her. At the top of the card, a black waning crescent and a white waxing crescent moon replace the usual black and white Chesed (severity) and Geburah (mercy) pillars, and and inverted triangle between them is a goddess symbol (a very simplified uterus shape). Instead of a scroll, she holds a wand in her right hand, while her left hand rests on a deer's head. She's wearing a crown with a lunar disc right at the front, a necklace, a filmy pale blue robe, and a wide silver bracelet on her right wrist.

I mostly associate this card with wisdom, serenity, psychic abilities, nature, self control, female spirituality, goddess worship, and "low" magic (ie the type worked with what you have rather than the heavily structured ceremonial kind).
