Queen of Wands

The queen of wands might be my favorite queen, in the court cards. It has been so amazing journeying with the energy of this card the last several days, that I don’t even want to move on to the next but alas I know I must. So let’s take a look at this passionate Diva and see what makes her so alluring.


 At the very forefront of the card sits a black cat, seemingly guarding her throne, which sits on a platform. She is dressed in a goldenrod gown, shining bright like the sun, with a white cape upon her back and a crown atop her golden hair. In her left hand she holds a sunflower and in her right a wand with fresh buds blooming near the top. Her throne is set upon lions, one under each armrest, and there are lions and sunflowers embroidered into its fabric. In the background we see the pyramids of Giza to the right, mountains to the left, all set against a bright blue sky. The queen sits with her legs spread apart, the only queen in the court cards to do so.


This queen is empowered and passionate in her actions, charismatic in all she does, a world traveler who can easily flow in any group she encounters. She has made peace with her emotions, both negative and positive, and is courageous in expressing them without judgment. This queen shines like the sunflower she holds, open and bright, she faces her life with optimism and excitement for whatever adventure comes her way. The queen of wands is sexually awake and present to her carnal desires, unashamed by them, rather she embraces them and expresses them with ease. We know she is psychically protected by the appearance of the black cat in front of her, while all the lions on the throne reflect how regal and royal she is.

When receiving this card in a reading, it is possible this person is you or that this person could be in your life or coming into your life, depending on the position of the card. It may also represent a general energy, one that engenders the aforementioned qualities and characteristics of this queen. It is often a sign that positive growth is being made or coming, as well as a sign of sexuality being embraced. And that black cat pops out everytime I pull it, so the cat is always there to let you know you’re being protected while you sink into the experience that is the queen of wands

11: Justice

Image
The 11th card in the major arcana is Justice and within many clues are provided to its meaning and purpose in a reading.. let’s take a look.. Our initial glance at the card we sees woman dressed in red robes symbolizing connection with successfully manifesting in the material world, a crown signifying her authority both in spirit and material worlds. Justice is of course holding her scales symbolizing her part in karmic justice and the weighing of deeds, and her sword represents the clarity of vision and connection to intuition needed to weigh all things carefully. She sits on a chair between two pillars, with a red cloth hiding what is beyond her judgment. The two pillars are reminiscent of the High Priestess card, where the querent must earn the right to traverse beyond the boundaries of the known, into the realm of the teachings of the Goddess and esoteric mystery schools. The justice card is showing us that karma is coming around the corner. The law of balance and karma, what goes ...

16: The Tower

Image
The Tower card right after the Devil card always feels a little overwhelming! There is a good reason the Tower follows the Devil and why it, like the Devil is not at all as scary as it first seems to be…   On the card we see a giant tower being struck by a bolt of lightning which blows the giant crown shaped roof off of the tower and sets it ablaze. We see fire coming out from the top and the windows and a man and a woman falling out of the windows. They both have blue and red items of clothing on symbolizing material desires and intuitive connection. Their faces are filled with fear and surprise which makes sense considering the circumstance. One may ask why didn’t they just attempt to leave the tower if they had an idea a storm was coming, instead of possibly falling to their death as a result of an inevitable strike of lightning causing them to leap? If you look closely, you see there is no door on the tower. They had no way to leave, besides the window. These two built a tower ...

14: Temperance

 Major Arcana 14 is Temperance. Such a truly perfect card to come after the death card! An angel blessing us with impartial waters of life, or something else? Let’s go! There is an awful lot going on in this card but the first thing that catches our eye is this seemingly divine figure pouring water between two golden cups. Dressed in a white gown with beautiful red wings, we see a theme that repeats itself over and over in this card. White being heavenly/holy/pure and red being material/carnal/passion, we recognize this being as a balance between spiritual and material aspects of reality/existence. With one foot in the water and one on land we see the same theme, material and spiritual repeated, and we can assume from this theme the two cups passing water back and forth also have to do with the importance of existing in the material and spiritual realms. For each realm gives us different perspectives and values that must be used simultaneously for us to transcend the disconnection ...
