'Mother Earth' (World)
Like The Sun, The World is one of the only tarot cards that carries no negative connotations, regardless of its position. It represents wisdom, fulfilment, achievement, and completion—the culmination of a journey and the gateway to a new cycle. Often associated with milestones such as birth, marriage, or graduation, this card signifies the successful realisation of a goal and the opportunities that emerge as one chapter ends and another begins.
Traditionally depicted as a female figure, The World is deeply connected to the idea of Mother Earth, the ultimate creator and sustainer of life. In my interpretation, I emphasise this connection, portraying The World as a powerful maternal force, embodying both the nurturing and transformative nature of existence. Just as the earth gives and sustains life, so too does the feminine spirit, carrying the wisdom and energy that uphold the balance of all worlds.
