From the Nicoletta Ceccoli Tarot, the Queen of Discs; from the Sacred Geometry Oracle, the "Cube:"
This queen must be a Southern gal, because comfort or celebratory food is a big part of our culture. At a family reunion you might find fried chicken; at deaths or births, every kind of casserole known to man shows up on the doorstep. But for those job losses and break-ups, it's usually something sweet that gets delivered. Besides being necessary for life, food helps ground us. The Queen of Discs is quite aware that doing something for the body - exercise, food, sex, hot baths - can help us step out of emotional intensity and bring us back into the real world. Her down-to-earth tactics are generally always welcome.
The cube is associated with the element earth, and therefore associated with stability and solidity. Though there are times when we can feel boxed in, there are times when that box might feel protective and cocoon-like. It gives us a place to rest and catch our breath. Greer suggests patience, consistency and structure are called for now.
this deck makes me crazy, I'm going to stop looking
ReplyDeleteHeehee, my daughter was looking at it last night and said it was like Alice in Twisted Candy Land. Not her cup of tea either!
DeleteI love how you found a connection with the Queen of Pentacles here, as I struggled a bit with such a young, ice-cream eating Queen. The idea of comfort food works, though :) Time to go exercise, methinks!
ReplyDeleteI had that same reaction when I first looked at the card too! This deck makes me feel like I'm wandering around in some strange bakery and sweet shop. :D Yes to exercise - I need to get back into my yoga practice. It was -6C (22F) last night, and I don't want to move out of my cocoon. :)
DeleteYes, I tend to do a lot less yoga in the winter, because I feel I need exercise that will warm me up quickly *brrrr* :)
