The Great Mother
An archetype of nurture, fertility, protection, and sometimes engulfment; the source of life and containment.
The Great Mother appears in images of abundance, care, and unconditional welcome. She can hold, feed, and comfort—but she can also overwhelm when love becomes possession.
In tarot, she may show up in cards that ask whether you are being held or held back, and whether you can receive nourishment without losing yourself.
