Witchy Wednesday, (though Tuesday night
)
For Wednesday, we will tackle the Queens.
Let me start by saying that with the Queens and Kings many are interpretations related to gender. Queens being mother (think nurturing, caring…grandma) and King are considered the Alpha male. He sees the whole whatever. I tend to think of Kings as CEO.
This is in NOOOO means gender specific. Think of Queens as the mother/nurturing aspect and Kings the Daddy Knows Best, type attitude.
That said, let us work with the Queens.
Queen of Swords (Air-Mind/Intellect)–perceptive–unbiased judgement, direct communication. She looks as if the sword may be between her eyes, indicating that she is not biased in how she is looking at things. Yes, she has her hand out as in invitation. So, that makes her judgments feel as if they are fair and that she sees everything equally.
Queen of Wands (Fire-Action)–confident–courageous, independent. This Queen (even though it looks like youthful man to me) has a sunflower next to the throne, I see it as glowing, strenght and confidence. She is willing to back up the actions needed to defend (action, FIRE) her position.
Queen of Cups (Water-Emotion)–nurture seems obvious, compassion, comfort, emotional stability
Queen of Pentacles (Earth-Tangibles)–this one I find hard to describe, she is comforting but in a physical way. I do not know a modern example, but Walton’s mother, Mrs. Cunninham on Happy Days, June Cleaver on Leave It to Beaver, Mrs. Carol Brady on Brady Buncg…think of your quintessential, perfect mother from TV, that is the Queen of Pentacles.
Everyone have fun with this one!!
