Tarot Lesson of the Week — The Queen of Wands

Vibrancy, sexuality, radiance.

“I am that bitch. Been that bitch. Still that bitch. Will forever be that bitch.” — The Queen of Wands, if she could speak.

I mean, look at her. She sits on her throne with her legs spread, her cat at her side, staff sturdy in one hand and a flower in the other because — why not?

The Queen of Wands comes bearing the message: standing unapologetically in your greatness allows others to step more fully into theirs.

She has a radiance and a steadiness that she willingly shares with anyone around her. She knows her power, and at the same time knows how to use the support and resources available to her.

She has made her home in the no-shame zone and wishes for you to do the same. She doesn’t need your praise, but she’ll receive it gracefully.

My favorite living personification of the Queen of Wands is Rihanna. She is comfortable in her sexuality, she pursues the projects she wants to pursue, and everything she creates empowers the person whom it touches.

From makeup, to lingerie, to a song that you want to scream sing, her message is loud and clear — you are a queen and should act as such. Shine bright like a diamond.
