The Meaning

All Queens are part water and very connected to the subconscious.  This queen is part air and part water so intellect and intuition are present and what she uses to distinguish truth.  This queen is interested in what is true.  With her sword she cuts away what is superfluous and fake and comes to her authentic self as well as asking the same of those near her.  This is why she is called the mask cutter.  She is bold and brave, clear in mind and heart and she inspires others to their own authenticity.  Call upon her to get in touch with what is true within yourself.  Inner authenticity is a virtue and dear friend to wisdom.  Know your truth through investigation and not comparison.  Get to know yourself and you will be the best friend one could ever have-to yourself and others.

This Queen is self aware, courageous and clear headed but most of all truly authentic. Call upon her energy when you desire to get in touch with what is true within yourself.

  1. Magnolia
    Magnolia grandiflora
    Magnolia grandiflora will act as an allie when, as we go through a transformation, parts of us die away in order to give birth to new parts.
  2. Elm
    Ulmus procera
    Elm helps to restore your energy and find your way back to the origin of your true desires and dreams.  
  3. Dogwood
    Cornus florida
    Dogwood helps to restore the sense of sacredness in all things and in the moment you are in.  It allows for a deeper sense of meaning than what is visible, helping  us to see the beauty that lies below the surface. 
  4. Gingko
    Gingko biloba
    Gingko is here to allow the mind to settle. Then we can see with deep clarity what is real and true.
  5. Wild Rose
    Rosa canina
    Wild rose allows a passionate, open heart. Here helping to allow ourselves the same value that we see in others we admire while not giving into jealousy but to honor and love.
