The Wands throughout this suit are always in leaf, as it is a suit
of life and animation. Emotionally and otherwise, the Queen's
personality corresponds to that of the King, but is more
magnetic. Divinatory Meanings: A dark woman,
countrywoman, friendly, chaste, loving, honourable. If the
card beside her signifies a man, she is well disposed towards him; if
a woman, she is interested in the Querent. Also, love of money, or a
certain success in business. Reversed: Good, economical,
obliging, serviceable. Signifies also--but in certain positions and
in the neighbourhood of other cards tending in such
directions--opposition, jealousy, even deceit and
infidelity.--A.E.
Waite
The Queen of Wands represents the watery part of Fire, its
fluidity and colour. . . . The characteristics of the Queen are
adaptability, persistent energy, calm authority which she
knows how to use to enhance her attractiveness. She is kindly
and generous, but impatient of opposition. She has immense
capacity for friendship and for love, but always on her own
initiative.
Water, fluid yet incompressible, the most neutral and composed of
all components of living matter, yet destructive even of the hardest
rocks by physical assault, and irresistible in its burning power of
solution. --Aleister
Crowley
A black cat guards her throne. (RW) . . . Sometimes if a person loves
life, the world appears to respond by protecting that person from
harm and send her or him joyous experiences. . . . and the black cat
shows this response by nature to someone who approaches it with
fiery
joy.-Rachel
Pollack
Her warm smile and easy-going manner brings her lots of
friends and lovers. Her energy is contagious, and her
enthusiasm, total. No matter what the task, she tackles it
with whole-hearted dedication and commitment. Nothing gets her
down! She is always upbeat and cheerful - ready to look for
the positive in the situation. Her life is full and busy, and
she prefers it that way. She loves to be going and doing. . . .
Although she's never arrogant, the Queen of Wands has a deep faith in
her own abilities. Her quiet self-assurance comes from the
knowledge that she can accomplish whatever she sets her mind
to.--Joan Bunning
The queen of wands can represent a person who seems larger than life.
. . . She goes for all the gusto she can get, and though she
is never out of control, she can embarrass more timid or reserved
companions.--Jean
Huets
She is intelligent, expressive, lively, and magnetic; fond of
home life, family, and friends. She is inspired, assertive,
and willing to help others, especially children. She has a warm and
direct sexual nature and usually marries and has a house
filled with children and animals. Self-expression is important
to her.--Susan
