Representation of Honesty

Two swords, one pointed up and another spearing her own hand, represent this Queen’s honesty and willingness to play by the rules: sometimes the house rules in your favor, and other times against you.

Justice of the Minor Arcana

The Queen of Swords is the Justice of the minor arcana. Her knowledge and wit are embodied by the glowing inscriptions that peek through her drapery. This is an intelligent Queen, understanding vast libraries of knowledge from the factual and empirical to the worldly and behavioral.

Knowledge and Caution

Both the Queen and King of the swords suit feature the butterfly motif, her penchant for the world of immaterial knowledge. Crowned by double-sided blades, she reminds us that knowledge can be beneficial, but use caution in its presentation. Sometimes the truth can hurt.
