From the Deirdre of the Sorrows Tarot, the Queen of Wands; from the Victorian Flower Oracle, Verbena:
Outgoing, charismatic and beautiful, this queen is made to be in the spotlight. She's often seen rallying others for a cause or cheering on those who are following their dreams. Her passion encourages others to follow her, but Verbena ('revenge') suggests we consider her true motive. In ancient Greece, Verbena was dedicated to Eos, the personification of the dawn who brought light to disperse the night. There are some leaders who suggest they will bring the light by righting wrongs. They often take the advice of Ronald Reagan: "When you can't make them see the light, make them feel the heat." Politicians and others often rouse the emotions of people to get them to back their agenda; as long as their story is full of heat, it doesn't matter if it's true. Anger and rage can make people feel powerful, but what happens when they see behind the curtain of person they were following?
