From the Wild Unknown Tarot, the Mother (Queen) of Swords; from the Pictish Oracle, Wolf:
I recognize the narrowed eyes of this snowy owl; they're the same as my cat's when I bring out the carrier for a vet visit. This Queen's air element (rationality) is tempered by her water element (understanding). Yet this colorless card and the sword pointing downward suggest she's just interested in the facts. Her past experiences can help her understand motives, but she will not tolerate any drama or dishonesty. She's not cold, just practical and direct. For the Picts, the wolf represented a marauder who took their livestock and presented a danger to night travelers. However, human "wolves" know to dress in sheep's clothing in order to take advantage of people. It can be hard to say 'no' or to step away from the crowd that follows such folks. But take the Queen's advice and check their actions rather than get excited about their promises. The words that pledge to give us a life of "milk and honey" might end with a bite we didn't see coming.
