Wild Cove of the Soul: Spreads to Connect to the Queens of the Tarot

In July, I did a post on the Kings of the Tarot, offering some Tarot spreads to connect more deeply with them. I decided that it might be a nice idea to make this a series, so this week we will be diving into the Queens of the Court Cards! Respective posts on the Knights and Pages will follow in the next few months :)

Before we dig into these four powerhouses, a quick reminder about how we work with the Court Cards from a Soul Tarot framework:

The following is excerpted from The Court Cards, one of my courses: 

“​In Soul Tarot, we look to The Court Cards as potent invitations into our embodied, soul guided leadership. They are sacred reflections of our own brilliance mirrored back to us, a part of ourselves reaching out to be reclaimed. If you are of help or service in the world, or desire to be; if you rally, organize, disrupt, amplify; if you teach, hold space, walk between thresholds, The Courts are anchors and allies to you in your life’s work, all working together to support, guide, and nourish you on this path. 

The Courts are not, as a rule, representations of other people. It doesn’t mean that they can’t be representations of other people, but the pressure to understand, sense into, and know who they might be representative of is too great for any reader – even if we are reading for ourselves. 

There is no hierarchical structure present with the Courts. The Kings are not the highest attainment of the suits, nor are the Pages the lowest. They work collaboratively with one another. The Court Cards are not gendered. They are not assignable by age, gender, sexual expression, or embodiment. They are wholly flexible, mutable, and personal, like all elements of the Tarot.”

A Call from Inside the House: The Medicine of the Queens

When we consider the soul, the heart, the deep mysteries that we live within us, and our willingness to center and amplify our connection to these aspects of ourselves,  we are speaking of The Queens.
