I thought we might add to our knowledge of the Heart of Faery by looking at the cards as they are grouped. So let's look at the Queens.
The Queens:
The Queen of the Golden Bough
The Queen of Bedlam
The Queen of the Night
The Queen of the Day
The Queen of Passage
The Queen of Owls
The Queen of Hearth & Home
The Queen of Shadows
The Queen of Laughter
Support, Frustration, Desire, Blessing, Transition, Wholeness, Welcome, Introspection, Fun.....if you just look at a key word for each Queen ...we see a whole array of human conditions or experiences. Honestly I'm not sure why the Queens are the Queens (no offense fae ladies) While the conditions or experiences are common they are not in my mind royalty...but then again I speak from a human perspective...perhaps in Faery they are not royalty either...perhaps they are simply things that come in ambundance....and that I can see
The Queen of the Golden Bough: spiritual healing, support, and a better understanding of emotional turmoil. She sits ready to assist and help humans gain a better understanding of the emotions that drive them. For the world is not ruled by money and power but by emotions.
The Queen of Bedlam: frustration, insanity, chaos She is the queen of everyday life and the book alludes to how that plays out as responsibility in a relationship BUT I see it more as the Queen of Everyday life...life is chaotic, fast paced, upside down at times and she is here to say let me help you. Escape the madness by embracing me and all of faery...you can ride the chaos like a roller coaster and tomorrow will dawn brighter and better!
The Queen of the Night: desires, longing, inspiration, She will "haunt you" with what it is you/she wants done until it is accomplished...whether it is a great poem or a great relationship...BUT beware sometimes what you want is just an illusion of the night and won't withstand the light of day. Yet I think it is important to keep in mind that sometimes we won't know that unless we take the chance....unless we follow her into the darkness and see what is hidden there.
The Queen of Day: Blessings, calm and wellbeing She wants you to enjoy the moment, be aware of beauty every where and let it flow through your life. She is the rainbow after the rain....she is finding the gem of good in the bad, she is the dawning of a new day...with light and hope.
The Queen of Passage: transition, moving forward, change. This queen speaks of letting go, of seeking new levels, of change that can be simple or profound. She knows the future holds opportunity for growth ...so we do not become stagnant.
The Queen of Owls: wholeness, wellness. The queen of physical healing. She wants to help you find the strength to deal with healing, to become whole and to seek the power inside yourself to heal and become well.
The Queen of Hearth & Home: Welcome, home, the hearth. She remind us that the glowing warmth of home is like no other warmth in our lives. She also encorauges us to "be at home" whereever we are. To feel confident and relaxed as we travel through life. To accept welcome...but most of all to be welcoming to others. This is a gift...to make others at ease and welcome...cultivate it as you would a precious garden.
The Queen of Shadows: Introspection...stop and look at who you are....even the shadow aspects of self have something to teach you. Look at those parts of self that you cultivate and those parts that you leave in the darkness...perhaps there are some that need to see the light of day. Do not leave them shivering alone in the dark shadows,....bring them forth and use them to lead a full vibrant life. If they are less than desirable qualities...by acknowledging them you can make them less powerful in your life....or transform them into something better!
The Queen of Laughter...joy, fun, She speaks of heading joyously into any situation. She says that a sense of joy and fun can add such spice to life that she doesn't understand why humans don't try to more often. Be a little daring, do something out of the ordinary...but most of all...whatever you do...do it with joy and laugh at life!
Those are my thoughts on the Queens...please add your because I am still in the process of getting to know these lovely ladies and would be most delighted to hear what they have been telling you.
