From the New Liminal Tarot, the Queen of Pentacles; from the State by State Playing Cards, Ohio (Ace of Clubs):
I don't damsel well. Distress, I can do. Damseling? Not so much.
―James Patterson
There are no high heels for this queen; she prefers being barefoot and grounded. The Queen of Pentacles deals with what is in front of her and what needs her attention rather than dwelling in what ifs. That's not to say she doesn't believe in planning and preparation - she does, she just doesn't waste time awfulizing what might happen. If there is a crisis, you want this resourceful woman's number on speed dial. Ohio's native buckeye tree produces lovely, dark brown nuts with a light spot (so named because they resemble a deer's eye). However, the seeds contain glycosides—a group of natural compounds that can lead to severe gastrointestinal and neurological issues when ingested. They are extremely poisonous to humans and animals (except squirrels). The Queen would say they remind us to have firm boundaries if we want to protect ourselves from getting entangled in unhelpful, emotional drama.
