From the Druidcraft Tarot, the Queen of Swords; from the Druid Plant Oracle, Yarrow:
The Queen of Swords has an analytic, intelligent mind and is a lover of truth. She knows from experience that no one is truly free if they are bound by false beliefs, fantasies or the lies they tell themselves and others. While she doesn't believe in wrapping her words in cotton candy fluff, she is at her core a nurturer and takes Lamott's words to heart. She knows that judgmental or angry words will fall on deaf ears, so she often uses direct questions to lead her listener to the truth, allowing them to understand and see it for themselves. Yarrow, since ancient times, has been used to heal wounds, stop bleeding and reduce fevers. Living in a cocoon spun of lies may make us feel safe, but our delusions will exsanguinate us; instead, we can apply the poultice of truth. As Cornel West stated, "There is a price to pay for speaking the truth. There is a bigger price for living a lie."
