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."

Gently Shake

From the Tarot of Durer, the Queen of Wands; from the Philosopher's Stone, Power:


In her cloak and hood, this Queen of Wands doesn't seem to be advertising her sex appeal (though that bare leg is a hint) or dazzling anyone with her charm. Even her lion seems calm. But the crown on the baton suggests she rules with a passion that might not be apparent except to those who know her well. Whatever her talents, she seems to use them in a humble way rather than attract attention. The Power card implies that her unpretentious approach creates more beneficial action than a boisterous or flashy one. Durer's Queen would likely agree with Gandhi: "In a gentle way, you can shake the world."
