High Priesstess of Fire

The High Priestess of Fire in the traditional deck is the Queen of Wands. Wands represent the spiritual, the passion, active movement, and male energy. Many books, depict Wands as representing career, work and business, but my tarot mentor (Barbara Stott) felt it represented the spiritual. This makes sense to me, in that Pentacles represents the material and financial world, so having Wands representing career is redundant. When court cards come up in a reading they can either represent an aspect of yourself or someone you might know. Someone who has influence on you or has a relationship that is meaningful either in the past or the future.

Correspondence: In yoga the 3rd Chakra (manipura) is fire which corresponds to the solar plexus (mantra of RAM). In Ayurvedic Tridosha Theory fire is Pitta and in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) five element theory (http://www.tcmbasics.com/basics_5elements_applications.htm)
Heart, Pericardium, small intestine and triple warmer with circulation, warmth yang. The astrological signs are: Aries, Leo and Sagittarius. The direction is South.

Card meaning: The Queen of Wands represents the aspects of fire that are most important to us. She has warmth, sensitivity, gentleness and faithfulness as well as strength and determination. The personality of the Queen of Wands combines the positive fire energy of the Wands suit with the inward focus of a Queen. With Queens, the emphasis is on your inner state. The Queen of Wands denotes sympathy and understanding to your situation. She is charming in her demeanour and practical in her approach of solving problems. She is a loving figure and worthy of her position.

Jenni represents the spirit of fire. She is passionate and caring in all aspects of her life. I used the lotus flower to represent not only her own spirituality but to symbolize that the fire within the Queen of Wands is tempered and gentle. In the background the Queen of Spades corresponds to a regular deck of cards. (controversial, because some reference that the Queen of Spades corresponds to Swords, while others say it corresponds to spades) I have based my cards on fire=wands-spades, although most say it should be fire=wands=clubs. All of the Priestesses have regular playing cards incorporated into their images which symbolizes their importance within the deck and ties them together with the High Priestess, who is the heart of the deck. The number of the domino is the number of the card when added together, (1+3(13)=4).
