Princess of Wands
„the power of attraction“
symbols: passion, lust for life, vitality, courage but also egocentricity and arrogance
expression: Earth through Atziluth
archetypes: all fertility goddesses like Venus, Inanna, Ishtar, Aphrodite and Babalon
element: fire
We can observe a young and attractive woman on this card – a true princess. Her view is directed upwards – she will not obey anyone, certainly to no man. She is looking proudly and unapproachable, even dominant. Her archetype is strongly connected to the Major Arcana card of „XI – Passion“
Her cat, which is a symbol for aggressive and independent femininity, is sitting on a pile of bones. This is not only a sign of her ruthlessness. She is willing to do whatever is necessary to achieve her goals. The consequences resulting from this behavior will surely be carried by others.
Her potential courage and vitality is high. This phase of her life can be transcended in enjoying the world, without thinking about the aftermath.
She has strong sexual attributes, but expresses them not through the usual passive principle, but in an active, forward going way – she always gets what she wants!
With her cape, which is an extension of her hair, she is capable of fascinating and catching the focus of others. Are we her victims or her playthings? – we can’t tell for sure.
The Princess is always in the center of attention. If she is not recognized the way she wants, she will quickly act belligerent and often malicious, powered by her natural fire. Other women may react even hostilely because of her attributes. She can be a vibrant, highly active character, but is not expected to act very considerate on her path. The goal of this card is to enjoy life, without hurting others, which sounds easier than it is for the princess ruling this card.
