What I love about the Queen of Swords in the Tarot of Prague deck is the way she stands up and faces us head on, unlike in the RW deck where she's firmly seated and we see her only in profile.
I adore the way her crown is all lopsided and battered and her sword has a ding near its point. She's been through the wars. They've left her strong, but not sour. There's a very slight wry smile on her face. Everything about her, her clothes, her ruffled little book, proclaims the fact that she's been there and back, been blown about by the storms of life, and now she stands firm on a height above a snowy forest with the city in the background. She's gained ground and she's not going to give it away to anyone.
This is a lady who would let the grey show in her hair and wear it proudly. Who would let the cosmetic surgeon keep his scalpel in his pocket and she'll keep her money in hers, thank you very much. A lady who has lived and learned and isn't afraid to let that be seen. She'll give you the benefit of her wisdom gently, if you ask her the right way, or with a lash if you get on the wrong side of her. Either way what she has to say will be worth listening to.
The fierce little winged lion at her feet looks loyal and protective, determined to see to it that she doesn't get hurt anymore. I'm glad of that!
