Just Sign Here

From the Artist's Inner Vision Tarot, the Queen of Wands; from the Art of Collage Cards, a work by Deger Bakir:

          This woman reminds me of a Southerner because of her dramatic expression. I can just hear her say, "Oh my lawd! Well bless her heart!" She likes to be in groups and is always welcome; people like her attention, energy and charisma. What they might not be aware of is that she uses these opportunities to sign people up for the next bake sale, get them involved in social justice movements, and collect donations for the new homeless shelter being built. She can get your mouth to say 'yes' before your brain has too much time to think about reasons to say 'no.' But even if you later regret signing up for her latest cause, she'll help you rally with her own support and encouragement. I've given Bakir's collage the title "Go your own way" (cue Fleetwood Mac). The interesting thing about the Queen of Swords is that she knows her strengths as well as her weaknesses. She may not be able to bake a cake, but she can organize the bake sale. She might not know the first thing about how to run a shelter, but she knows who to hit up for donations to keep it running. She uses her personality traits and talents in ways that benefit both herself and others. Don't let her Southern drawl and mannerisms fool you - she is sharp as a switchblade when it comes to getting things done.
