I use tarot and oracle cards as tools for reflection and contemplation. Rather than divining the future, they are a way for me to look more deeply at the "now."

An Invitation to Flaunt

From the Waking the Wild Spirit Tarot, the Wildwitch/Queen of Fire (Wands); from the Saltwater Reading Cards, Coral:


Poppy calls this Queen 'passion personified.' She expresses herself with confidence, in vibrant ways that may flaunt convention. And while she's not afraid to be the center of attention, she also likes to help others find their own inner fire. She doesn't see encouraging others as creating more competition, she considers it more of an invitation to gleefully join in the delight of life. Coral is a marine animal with an exoskeleton made of calcium carbonate. Its keyword - strength - reminds us that we all have inner fortitude available even when we are afraid. The more we use it (sometimes with no other choice), the more confident we become in our capabilities. I'm sure the Queen of Wands didn't arrive in the world blazing, but with a small ember she nourished and grew.

You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.
―Bob Marley

  1. Some queens do come into the world blazing. You can hear it from them at birth. "whew that one is going to be a real handful'
    We need those fire people to light one under us sometimes.

    1. A little push from them might help those of us who are a little more timid!
