jrv1269 Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 Hi everyone, I recently met with a reader in my city for a workshop that was all about the basics of tarot & toward the end of the workshop she pulled a Celtic Cross spread for me so we could apply everything discussed to the reading. One of the cards pulled was the Queen of Wands. I expressed my frustration with this card as I had been pulling her A LOT recently & couldn't figure her out. I really liked her explanation & would love to hear what others have to say about this mysterious lady! We used the Rider-Waite deck. When I said I couldn't figure this particular Queen out (I've most often identified as the Queen of Swords over all others), this reader said you're not really SUPPOSED to figure her out, she's more a woman of mystery who will reveal what she wants to reveal when she wants to reveal it. She pointed out the cat sitting in front of the queen & said this queen is very much like that cat. I really liked her analogy: Imagine you go over to your friend's for a group dinner. You get there earlier than everyone else. Your friend has both a dog & a cat. You try to get the cat to come over to you, but it completely ignores you while the dog is ready & waiting to give you all the attention all the time. So you start helping to set things up & you're focused on setting places at the table, helping to make a salad, etc., when the cat finally decides to come over & rub all over your legs. It's only really interested in you when you're busy & don't necessarily give it your full attention. The cat (or queen) will come to you when it feels like it. I know it's kind of a broad explanation & this queen can of course stand for more specific things, but I would love to know others' thoughts on this one!

TekkieTarot Posted June 1, 2019 Posted June 1, 2019 I absolutely love the queen of wands!!! She is my signifier when pulling cards about myself and I also display a lot of her traits. The queen of wands is like a ray of sunshine (I actually have a male friend who nicknamed me sunshine lol) she’s happy, upbeat, cheerful and positive. A lot of people tell me they love being around me because they love the energy I give off and the way I act. Which is the things I mention above, she’s also really creative and passionate about things (me when I’m doing projects). She can be a social butterfly and she just attracts people without even trying like a moth to a flame. People just gravitate towards me especially men lol. My friend is also the queen of wands as well. And she is just as social, sunny, fun and happy as I am. Queen of wands people have charm and charisma which makes them attractive to people, even if they are not the most attractive man or woman. They just have an IT factor about them that draws you in. However the queen of wands does have a shadow side. She can be catty, she can gossip heavily, she can use her social status and the fact that she’s well liked to manipulate situations (can be for good or bad). But she can be very fiery and act very b*tchy. My ex use to see me as her shadow side (our relationship was not the best) and I use to definitely give a lot of cattiness and nasty niceness to him as I like to say. She also wants to be the center of attention and have all eyes on her especially from the men. She enjoys it and doesn’t want to share her spotlight with anyone else. And she can be very jealous and possessive and self-centered. But I rarely behave like her shadow side, however I’ve seen this in reading for others especially women lol. But when positive the queen of wands is a joy to be around a ray of sunshine for sure.
