Tarot Card of the Week: Nov 30 – Dec 6, 2015
Queen of Swords
Decisions that you make this week will require you to use intellect and logic rather than emotions and intuition.
The Queen of Swords signals a need for discipline. Whether you’re acting in this capacity or dealing with someone who embodies these qualities — like authority, self-reliance and impartiality — this week you will need to rise to the occasion.
The Queen of Swords in most decks can be rather cold and austere. She can be critical and judgmental, detached from her emotions and unwilling to compromise her convictions but this version emphasizes wisdom and maturity.
Notice the silver hair and tattered robes in this version — from the Druidcraft Tarot. She’s not here to impress anyone. She knows who she is and is comfortable in her own skin.
She doesn’t wield her sword like a weapon; she caresses it gently, just as her bare feet keep her grounded and rooted to the earth and the feather in her headdress keeps her connected to the wisdom and teachings of her ancestors.
She may be a woman in your life: if so consider that you can count on her to tell you the truth. She’s got high standards and impeccable ethics, which she didn’t acquire by marching to the beat of anyone else’s drum.
Perhaps this is someone whose courage and strength you admire: an older woman, a widow often, someone who has weathered her share of disappointments and still holds her head high.
Or perhaps these are qualities that you need to embrace yourself. The Queen of Swords — like all court cards — can appear as frame of mind or set of attitudes that are necessary for dealing with a particular set of circumstances.
If you find yourself in the position of having to step up to the plate today — on the job, in your relationships, or dealing with friends and family members — take a leaf out of this wise and practical Queen’s book. You don’t need to raise your Sword (or your voice) to get your point across. Your inner strength and wisdom will do the job just as effectively.
This week’s card — Queen of Swords — comes from the Druid Craft Tarot by Philip Carr-Gomm, Stephanie Carr-Gomm and Will Worthington.
This deck represents the Celtic and Druid tradition and emphasises a connection with the natural world containing vibrantly colored life-like images and lush landscaping, megalithic structures and wise druids. This deck is not just for those who follow a Druid path, but for anyone who connects with nature. In ancient times Druids were considered to be philosophers, counsellors and alchemists. Druids are always learning, seeking the souls truth and seeking balance!
The Druidcraft Tarot is published by St. Martin’s Press and is also available for iPhone/iPad and Android devices through the Fool’s Dog website.
