The Queen of Swords
I posted a new user photo on Facebook recently. Two marriage proposals, (sorry, already married!) and six sword jokes later, and I got a message from the lovely and talented Rebecca. You may remember my posting or talking about her 365 Days of Tarot though the Facebook page for this blog.
Rebecca was inspired to post about the Queen of Swords after seeing this photo, and wanted permission to feature it in her Tarot blog. Of course I was so thrilled that she loved Stacey B & Marisa's work that I immediately agreed.
The interview and blog soon followed, and let me tell you. I was moved to tears at this vision of another strong woman painted of me. I wanted to share it with you all. To view the photo and read the full post, please click the link posted at the bottom of the page.

Day 101-Creating her Reality: The Meaning of the
Queen of Swords Tarot Card
My friend Amy is a true Queen of Swords
Up to this point I’ve had some fun blogging about Queens of Swords I don’t personally know (Suze Orman and Jodi Arias). Today I present to you a Queen of Swords in my everyday experience, the Rev. Amy Blackthorn. I was initially inspired to use Amy as the Queen of Swords because of her sword-swallowing photo above, but the more we got to talking about a post on the Queen of Swords the more I realized just how much Amy really is this Tarot archetype! Amy is a true Queen of Swords.
This Queen of Swords is a Black Belt, a firearms instructor (firearms are the modern day swords!), self-defense advocate, teacher, professional intuitive, High Priestess, and has earned multiple degrees in various fields of study. The Queen of Swords is the kind of woman you want to rule your empire, as she is as versatile as she is intelligent. Yet as I was discussing this post with Amy, another story came into play; one that I feel most defines Amy as the Queen of Swords.
