Queen of Swords
The Queen of Swords represents the Morrigan, the Irish goddess of war and lady of ravens, embodying cold intellect, victory over emotions, unconventional thinking, and self-sufficiency. This card speaks to detachment and hidden potential for love and tenderness that, due to life circumstances, hides beneath the metallic armor of skepticism and distrust. While solitude can be comforting and healing at times, one must question whether constantly shielding oneself with coldness and freedom is worthwhile when it begins to destroy from within.
