Queen of Swords
The Card
A queen sits on an ornate throne, one arm raised holding a sword upright, the other extended in a gesture of open consideration. Her crown is set with butterflies. Clouds and wind move around her. A small cherub is carved on her stone throne. She is alone, composed, and entirely herself.
Symbolism
The butterfly crown represents transformation — she has been through something. The extended open hand shows willingness to receive truth as well as speak it. The carved cherub behind her: she remembers what it was to be innocent. The sword is raised, not aimed.
Truth without sentiment. The Queen of Swords sits upright, sword raised, facing you directly. She has known loss and has let it make her clear rather than bitter. Her gift is the ability to see and speak truth without cruelty.
Coldness, cruelty, manipulative use of intelligence, bitterness, isolation.
