alleyman's tarot - day thirty - the queen of bombs

time-ish: late afternoon

[The Queen of Bombs] ⇧

She stands for life, liberty, and the american way. which is of course bull shit. Ha.

The Queen of bombs is the nuclear wife. she is the caretaker and supporter of those who go out in the world, and she is the lap you curl up in to feel safe.

She will also destroy anything that gets in the way of that. She is motherliness as considered in the 50s, with the underlying threat of utter annihilation. She is the one who calms you in the face of the horrid reality of our planet’s potential end, of the creeping and unstoppable anxiety of climate change, of the possibility that a single nuclear warhead might lead to mutual annihilation. her calming touch also feels a little flat in comparison to those possibilities, but it can be okay to lie to yourself to feel good, sometimes.

in reverse, she is the apathetic hand of annihilation itself. You can find solace in there, but it’s not a warm one. Cool and quiet.

note: i initially pulled [The Alley] ⇧ again, but it was in the deck backwards so i re-shuffled and pulled another
