A queen on a throne carved with flowers and fruit tenderly cradles a pentacle in her lap with both hands, surrounded by climbing roses and grass, a rabbit at her feet. The pentacle she holds represents nurturing and abundance, and the roses and lush nature prosperity and vitality. The rabbit symbolizes fertility and plenty, and the goat carvings on her throne the earth and practical sense. The card shows care that is both warm and grounded.
