Okay, so I’ve been messing around with Tarot cards lately, and I wanted to dive deeper into the “Queen of Wands” and what it means for feelings. I figured, why not try to understand it through actually doing something, rather than just reading about it? So, here’s how it went down.
Getting Started
First, I cleared a little space on my desk. Made sure it was tidy and I wouldn’t be disturbed. I lit a candle – just a plain white one, nothing fancy – to kind of set the mood. I also grabbed my favorite Tarot deck, the one I’ve had for years and feel really connected to.
My Little Ritual
I shuffled the cards, focusing on the question: “What does the Queen of Wands represent in terms of feelings?” I wasn’t thinking about a specific person or situation, just the general vibe of the card.
Then, I laid out three cards. I know some people do these elaborate spreads, but I kept it simple:
- Card 1: What I think the Queen of Wands feels like.
- Card 2: What the Queen of Wands actually feels like.
- Card 3: How I can embody those feelings.
The Reveal
Okay, so here’s what I got:
- Card 1 (What I thought): The Five of Cups. This made sense – I was initially thinking of the Queen of Wands as maybe a bit dramatic, potentially dwelling on past hurts.
- Card 2 (What it actually is): The Queen of Wands! Ha! Straight to the point. This told me I needed to look directly at the card’s core meaning, not my assumptions.
- Card 3 (How to embody): The Sun. Whoa. This was a big shift. It pointed towards radiance, joy, and total confidence.
Putting it all Together
After pulling card, I was sat with it for a while. I journaled about the imagery, the colors, and how it made me feel.
The Queen of Wands, I realized, isn’t about wallowing. It’s about fiery passion, confidence, and a bold approach to life. It is like embracing your inner power, and going after what you want. The Sun card as the “how to” really drove that home. It’s about shining brightly, without apology.
So, this little exercise really helped me. It took the Queen of Wands from being just a concept in a book to something I could actually feel and understand on a deeper level. I’m definitely going to keep doing these mini-rituals to explore other cards!
