  • The Queens of Shoes

    If a picture is worth a thousand words, why not use images to help secure the meanings of the court cards in your head? To this end, I thought we could KICK off today (see what I did there?!) with an exploration of the Tarot Queens through the medium of HIGH-HEELED SHOES!

    *very scholarly face on*

    The Queen of Swords

    Clever, sharp, possessed of a razor wit and allergic to all sorts of flattery or bullshit, the Queen of Swords needs something suitably spiky as her footwear.  I picked this because of the fantastic spiked heel, airy cut-out feel and butterfly motif!

    The Queen of Wands
    She helps us handle everything in our lives with passion – if you’re not going to do it REALLY WELL, why bother? says the Queen of Wands.  Mediocre isn’t a word in her vocabulary and she likes to see every challenge as an opportunity.  She can be relentlessly upbeat – very tiring for the rest of us! She is also passionate about passion, hence I chose something really stand-out-sexy for her – tadaaaaah!
    Leopard-print Louboutins, of course!
    The Queen of Cups
    This Queen is focussed on relationships and is very much in touch with her emotions – and helps you get in touch with yours too.  The power of emotions help us to create  – and experience – our inner world, regardless of whether we make love, make oil paintings, make music, make friends or make peace.
    I wanted to find something that was ‘of the sea’ so chose shoes with pearls!  And since she is all about relationships, what better than a pair of lacy wedding shoes?
    Yes, she would rather be wearing flip flops – but one needs to SUFFER for one’s high heel
    Queen of Pentacles

    This Queen’s power is related to home, health and wealth.  She appears if we need to ground ourselves  – a spot of gardening, meditation, physical activity, care of your health, redecorating the spare room etc. But if any Queen was going to extoll the virtues of a the wellington boot, it would the the Queen of Pentacles.  But since there’s no such thing as a practical high heel….. I had to do a powerful lot of googling. Googling shoes.  What hardship.  But the struggle was worth it, for I found this: 
    Grrrr – have lost the source link for this image, sorry!

    But shhhhhh, don’t tell the other Queens or they’ll want them too!
