The Black Queen Card

The Black Queen is a combination of the energies of spades and clubs, where ideas and inspiration demand action. Stronger than either of the black Queens, more practical than the red Queens, don’t mess around when you see it.

The Queens are the feminine counterparts of the Kings. They are also a reflection or a certain aspect of the Empress. These cards are very strong and have a weight in a reading that is naturally superior to a Joker or Jack for instance. Just like the Kings, they can become threatening when reversed. But even head up, they’re more complex and contrasted than the Kings. Mostly because in the Middle-Ages, women were not only considered inferior to men, they were always a possible danger. These aspects can be used or not in a reading depending on your culture, background but above all, the energy of the session you’re in.
