Queen of Wands

.

There's this 89-year-old lady in a village.

The local produce store is faraway, at the other end of the village – a difficult journey at her age.

So, her neighbor – a pensioner like herself, but a bit younger – occasionally buys and brings her milk, bread, and some other stuff.

So, this one time, he brings her some groceries from the store once again, and she gets all emotional and says to him:

– Oh dear, I'll be left all alone when you die.

.

The Queen, according to the Kabbalah, is some person or object that serves as the center or focal point of attention.

Wands are chances, possibilities, parameters, structural connections.

Accordingly, the Queen of Wands is some person or object that serves as the focal point around which chances, possibilities, parameters, structural connections revolve.

For example, the Queen of Wands may symbolize an important document, such as a certificate.

The distinctive feature of the Queen of Wands is that she is surrounded by a broad range of structural connections.

A "reversed" Queen of Wands is a false, often arbitrary, and therefore unreliable status – one that is quickly lost over time.

A kind of “Caliph-for-a-day”[593 - An historical tradition practiced in the East. Some random individual formally temporarily holding the post of ruler. After a short time, the temporary caliph was executed for the sins of the actual ruler.], a “Zitz-chairman Pound”[594 - "Zitz-chairman Pound" – a character from the novel "The 12 Chairs", who acts as a formal chairman of "offices-for-a-day".].

For example, someone who wins a large cash prize in a casino or lottery, but fails to make good use of the money, "blowing everything out the window".

King of Wands

.

– I'm claustrophobic… I'm afraid of getting stuck in small enclosed spaces. What if there are spiders or cockroaches hiding there?

– You call that claustrophobia? Just now, we were trying to lay this one dead guy in a coffin for a whole hour. Now this fellow had claustrophobia!

.

The King, according to the Kabbalah, is the law, the law-giver and law-maker, a wielder and conductor of Power.

The object through which the Power "manifests", controls, or is conveyed to the world.

Wands are chances, possibilities, parameters, structural connections.

Accordingly, the King of Wands is the Law, the Conductor of chances, possibilities, parameters, structural connections.

In the Material world, the King of Wands may symbolize, for example, formative, fundamental laws, rules, licenses, documents.

Fig. 4.13.1 King of Wands – the Law, the Conductor of chances, possibilities, parameters, structural connections. The laws of the Universe, revealed in the form of laws, rules, and theorems of various sciences. Such as the laws of physics, chemistry, mathematics, geometry, biology, cybernetics, economics, etc. However, let's not forget that all the "laws" of the various sciences are just a kind of model of how we, humans, understand them – just a "shadow" of the original.
