Card 62 • swords

Queen of Swords

Brief Description

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.

Author's Note

This card has a real prototype among my friends.

Visual Description

A stern woman in profile wears a large bird skull as a helmet and long wavy dark hair flowing behind her. She is clad in green armor decorated with a star motif, and an upright sword runs along the left side of the image. A black raven perches behind her shoulder and feathers drift through a star-speckled night sky. A small red heart with three drops appears on her chest and a banner at the bottom reads "QUEEN OF SWORDS".
