Ancestral Advice on Confidence & Ambition
The Queen of Wands is a card of confidence, expression, and beauty. Hardship is something we all must struggle with in life, and at times those difficulties can impact our self-confidence and our self-expression, our motivation to shine like the Queen of Wands. This card pull made me think of Grandma Debi, who was a bold and vibrant soul like the Queen of Wands. Grief is a hardship we all must face at some point whether losing a grandma, a sibling, a parent, a spouse, or a friend. I have noticed that at least for me, my grief has caused me to withdraw more, to talk less (and for those who know me, that is saying a lot for someone who already doesn't talk much lol), and to become more easily frustrated not having the mental or emotional energy. This Hardship card makes me think of the song "Surface Pressure" from Encanto: I'm the strong one, I'm not nervous I'm as tough as the crust of the Earth is I move mountains, I move churches...
