THE QUEEN OF WANDS
“The Queen of the Thrones of Flame”
Pisces - Aries
Water of Fire
DESCRIPTION AND SYMBOLISM
The alluring Queen of Wands sits on her throne holding her flowering wand of authority in one hand and a sunflower in her other. Upon her head and gracing her perfectly styled hair sits a gold crown topped in a leafy pattern. The back of her throne is decorated with images of lions and sunflowers and extends upwards into the infinite sky. Her royal robes are free of all adornment and reflect her simplicity and purity of character. To the left and right of her throne are carved the images of lion’s heads, one of which gazes upwards at her with a single baleful eye. Her visage is open and inviting but a somewhat sinister black cat stands before her throne. Cats were sacred to Isis, the mother Goddess of the ancient Egyptians and this feline symbolizes that within her fiery personality also dwells something potentially sinister which may be unleashed upon those who may seek to threaten her or that the fiery creative power within her may be used for either good or evil ends.
