From the Tarot Lukumi, the Queen of Wands; from the Diloggun Cards, Irete (16 mouths):
In any given moment we have two options: to step forward into growth or step back into safety.
—Abraham Maslow
There's no throne for this queen; she's a "go and do, explore and create" kind of gal. She is represented by Oya, the orisha of the wind, lightning and storms. Associated with transformation, she brings change, wanted or not. It's no use blaming things on her when our comfortable life gets turned upside down. Change is as natural as the sun rising and setting. Irete (16 mouths) suggests we not constrict our kindness in reaction to any shifts in our life:
Ifa: Guard against selfishness; those who are selfish will come to bear their burdens alone.
Proverb: Enjoy breakfast all alone, share lunch with your best friend and give dinner to your enemy.
We don't want to push away the people who might help us adjust and adapt to whatever winds life sends our way.
