About Me


********************************************The only way to know oneself is through introspection. That being said, I have found an example/description that is the epitomy of me. It is the queen of swords tarot card. She exemplifies everything that I am and why..........................................The Queen of Swords is the great warrior queen. She is ready for battle, yet is combined with femininity and creative intelligence. An independent career woman with her own ideals and values. She is sharp and quick witted and intensely perceptive. She usually outwits her opponents. She believes knowledge is power.She knows how to cut through extraneous information to get to the heart of the matter. She can be outspoken and have a sharp tongue. She can also be vindictive at times. She is secretive and can detect this in others. She may have to defend her position and fight for what is hers.She may signify a widow or a woman of sadness. One who has known great happiness and lost it. It can be a card of mourning.
