Lore
A queen sits on a garden throne, holding a pentacle, with a warm hearth and ripe plants around her. The card is about practical care: food, warmth, and a home where people can rest, including the person who keeps it.
In daily life, she can appear as a baker, a host, or a gardener, or as the stance you need when care has to become food, warmth, and time.
