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.

The Knight of Wands shows a young knight riding an orange/red horse. His garment is decorated with salamanders and covers a suit of armor. There are three pyramids in the background. This knight’s symbolism suggests that he is an active, energetic young person with an enthusiastic nature. The fire element here burns hot and impetuously. When it burns out, he moves on to light another fire. Expanding Dimensions, the creators of Today’s Journey Tarot saw this young man as the Youth of Fire. He roars down the road on his motorcycle looking for the next adventure. His raw passion drives him but is not always in control.
