The Queen of Wands embodies the androgynous beauty of universal desire. Asexually essential, it touches all beings regardless of their gender or inclination. She burns with all the fires of passion, the Queen of Wands. And it shows. Her swollen red tunic is the living theater of her incandescent desires. The winding folds of her dress create patterns that can be charming or obscene depending on the perspective. Libertines will discern penises, phalli, vulvas, and vaginas. Poets will see islands, seafood, moistures, and tumescence... And the outraged will protest against such vulgarity. Her hands are the manifest extension of her talents and skills. She combines dexterity, skill, and delicacy, making her both an expert artisan and a goldsmith... and also an unparalleled seductress and manipulator. In her right hand, the crude club of the Page has transformed into a martial dildo, its tip stimulating her lower abdomen. And in her left, an anxiety-inducing fork may mimic castration. Her royal crown adorned with a white laurel branch and the shield at her feet are reflections of her kinship with the Empress, embodying creative and sexual power. For the sake of the cause, Lucrezia Borgia has taken on the role of the Queen of Wands. Her infamous legend undoubtedly illustrates the darker inclinations of this card: cruelty, venality, debauchery, and perversity. However, attempts have been made to rehabilitate her historical memory. In this instance, her status as a patroness of the arts and letters bestows upon our Queen of Wands her noble quarters. Based on "Vanity," Frank Cadogan Cowper (1877 - 1958)
