The Hermit, Queen of Pentacles, Queen of Swords
The Hermit seems pretty on-point to me, as my family has been on COVID lockdown for ten days. We’re fine now, though, and ready to come out into the world again—carefully, and still masked and carrying hand sanitizer. I have used some of the time stuck at home to work on “procraftinated” projects, and some to read good books over again. Society tries to push us to keep “doing” all the time, but the Hermit reminds us that sometimes it’s best to just stop and think. Then we have our Queens: the soft, fluffy Pentacle Queen, representing fertility, nature, and the material side of life, and the hard-assed Sword Queen, who represents “cutting through” emotional bullshit to get to the intellectual truth. Be both. Balance both: the emotional and the intellectual. Slay, my Queens. (and to my masculine friends, maybe this is a sign to call your mom?)
