Introduction

Imperious, energetic, exuberant and charismatic, the Queen of Wands is a natural-born leader and an attractive personality that draws others like moths to a flame. In the Colman Smith illustration she is represented seated upon her throne, but I wanted to stress her drive and purpose, and so she is standing, gazing up and outward and holding her staff. The leaves that normally sprout from the wands I've drawn throughout the suit are woven around her crown into a wreath to represent her great mental agility and creative force.

Dual Nature

Just like the flame she represents, the Queen of Wands can warm others by her fire, or she can burn them. Hers is a very dominant energy, which can make for great leadership, but also for too much aggression in the pursuit of her goals. The Queen of Wands is the sort of person who knows what she wants and how to get it. Her passions can burn bright and quick, and then temper to a steady glow of embers. She is a reminder to conduct ourselves with care, and to pay attention to the needs and passion of those around us.

Occultism and Magic

She is also a figure associated with occultism and magic and is frequently represented with a cat. I liked the idea of adding a cat to my version too, as a playful reference to the Fool.
