| The Queen of Swords is one of the cards of the Minor
Arcana, however I have classified it as a Royal because it, like all other Queens, it represents the adult Feminine
nature of this particular suit. This, like all other Queens, represents the Matriarchal or parent self.
Depicted on this card is a queen seated on a throne looking over a cloud~filled landscape. Her right hand raises
a sword whose hilt rests on the arm of her throne. She looks sorrowful and grave. (Note the storm clouds in
all Court cards of the Swords.) |

| There is a myriad of symbolisms on this and many of the other cards in
both the major and minor arcana. In order to present a comprehensive and easy to use as a reference source
set of pages for this and other cards, I will refrain from going into great detail regarding the individual
symbols on the cards. On a future date I will go over the more explicit aspects of them. If you have a
question regarding a particular symbol you can email me at Tamerin.
