The Queen of Wands traditionally symbolizes someone who is sure of herself and motivates others. She is filled with controlled passion, has a magnetic personality and sometimes isn’t aware of the power she has over others. The Rider/Waite/Smith deck depicts a queen on a throne. She is holding a sunflower, has three pyramids behind her and a black cat at her feet. Everything about her is symbolic of the nature of this card and the person it represents – her gown, her crown and the throne itself. Expanding Dimensions looked at the character of this woman and chose to represent her in today’s world as a politician. The Mother of Fire shows a strong, confident, dynamic leader as she steps onto a podium to address her supporters. She smiles and waves to the crowd, certain of their support.
