Queen of Swords
The Queen of Swords stands atop a hill with an icy crown, a silver sword held aloft, a blue cloak and fur pauldrons, and an eagle circling overhead, suggesting clarity, authority, and mental acuity. Her outstretched hand and the bindrune indicate invitation, guidance, and flexible ideation that can lead to greater successes. Upright, the card advises protecting your heart, relying on cunning and quick wit, understanding the logic of a situation, and being outspoken. Reversed, it warns of fantasy, daydreaming, loss of objectivity, being lost in thought, and emotional detachment or uncaring behavior.
