Shadowscapes Tarot

QUEEN of WANDS

The fire-brindled fur of foxes darting about in the shadows surrounds her. They watch among the other denizens of the forest who are drawn out by the singing of the harp on which the queen plays. She glows in the midday light, her presence like a white-hot flame that radiates with the warmth of her spirit. The Queen of Wands' fingers dance across the strings, and she embraces the tree that is at once her audience of dryads, her instrument, and her living wand.

The Queen of Wands is dedicated, engaging, and atractive. She is always cheerful and upbeat. She knows the role of a queen and plays it with perfect, calm assurance. She is used to being the center of attention and knows it is her due. Her presence exudes confidence and the knowledge that she can handle anything and anyone. It is not arrogance but a simple understanding and truthful assessment of her skills and abilities. It is easy for her charms to be turned towards darker purposes of deceit and manipulation. She guards against this temptation.

Mesmerized by this, the world hushes at her entrance to hear her, see her, and bathe in her radiance. Her exuberance in life sings out as her hands dance across trills and runs and glissandos upon the living harp.
