Meaning of the Queen of Scimitars in the Persian Tarot

This card is the continuation of the previous one in its predictions. That is to say, just as the Queen of Sickles warned of a possible female danger, this one exposes us to that same danger. The Queen of Scimitars card thus embodies a woman with a worldly air, even if her social origins are more modest. She is single, widowed or divorced, and her conversation shines through her well-developed intellect, though she often overdoes it just to impress the most ignorant. She is a distant acquaintance of the individual concerned by the consultation, or a person recently met.

In any case, this querent will have to beware of her, for the latter will insinuate herself into their life and their intimacy to the point of “borrowing” their partner in love and sabotaging their professional career. Within the Persian Tarot, which faithfully takes up Eastern cultures and traditions in the depiction of its cards, the Queen of Scimitars appears like the companion of a highway brigand, her tunic slightly dishevelled, her bodice open over her chest, and a long dagger brandished in her right hand.

During a divinatory reading, the Queen of Scimitars card is therefore extremely harmful to the querent’s peaceful life. It announces indeed that a woman from their distant circle wishes them ill, out of jealousy or greed, and that she will do everything to make their life impossible.
