Queer of cups is a direct reference to the tarot card the Queen of Cups. The Queen of Cups represents a nurturing, compassionate form of introspection. She is in a collaborative relationship with her internal seas and is in flow with her intuition. She represents my highest self as a counselor and the process I want to help my clients engage in. I added the word ‘Queer’ to represent my own nonbinary gender identity and to be bold in declaring my practice as a space for other queer and trans people.

This picture is of the Queen of Cups from the first tarot deck I ever purchased for myself over 6 years ago, The Unicorn Tarot. She sits atop my altar accompanied by a clear quartz which I use to cleanse my deck between readings, a lepidolite which aids in relieving anxiety and a celestite which helps engage with the higher self. She is also accompanied by a bundle of Mugwort which helps us connect to spirit, intuition and dreams. Overlooking her is my Unicorn statue which represents my version of Divinity which I call “Uni” which also stands for Universe.
