When you look at the
Queen of Cups, the woman entranced with the fantastical cup that she has
created, it is a warning from the cards not too get too lost in your own thoughts,
to make sure your fantasies match reality.
But that can sound a bit judgmental.
I found this amazing mosaic by Irina Charny, (I just love her work!) and to me it just looked like the Queen of
Cups. Here the Queen is losing herself in her own
music, and that just felt to me like a
much more loving way of viewing her.
I just have to edit this because I saw this beautiful Queen of Cups by Robert Scott - the artist whose deck I bought through Kickstart a while ago (he's yet to finish it, but it's definitely going to be worth the wait!)
and this is what he writes about her:
"The Queen of Cups represents the role of water in the context of water; the emotional center of the court cards. She is kind, affectionate and comforting. She is perfectly accepting - receiving others without judgement of any kind, and stands for calm reflection and introspection. She is the queen of the still pond, the surface of which is a mirror. The Queen's own nature is hard to grasp, for when you gaze into her depths, you only see yourself."
