The Queen of Wands is brewing up some magic, which in her case is the ability to sway people to her way of thinking and convince them to follow her into action. While she likes to start crusades and campaigns about concerns dear to her heart, she's content to follow rather than lead once they build up steam and get going. She's not afraid of being the center of attention (she rather enjoys it), but she has other movements to support and encourage. Thus she doesn't focus solely on one cause, but several (knowing that she's left the leadership in capable hands). The island the Celtic travelers arrive at today is that of the Eagle, a bird known for skimming the waters of sea or lake and grabbing fish from the surface. Because they appeared to be taking a dip in the water, the Celts considered this great bird a symbol of renewal and transformation. The booklet asks, "Are you tired of life because you never refresh yourself?" Perhaps the Queen knows what she's doing by handing the reins over to another instead of trying to micromanage everything.
I saw a three/quarter Moon in the sky yesterday afternoon while I driving to appointment. Seemingly transparent, a wonder to behold. I thought of Anne Lamont's 12 Truths video you shared and her advice to all, "Look Up". The Queen of Wands helps us to open ourselves to see something or be a part of something new. Look up!
ReplyDeleteIn the daily trudge, it can be easy to forget to look up or outward. Cloud cover has hidden the moon and stars lately here, so thanks for sharing your view. :)
