Queen of Pentacles finished wooooo...

Hi guys,

I have finished the Queen of Pentacles now yaayyy (((Giggles)))..

Im having issues with my touch screan so going to post then edit to add in symbolic meanings :.)

Little details to mention..
The Snail - she is wearing a tiny daisy head garland.
The Queen Black Ant offering the apple.
The Tiny Faerie who imprinted in the watermark on the tulip leaf.
The Sea Shells in the tulips.
The Young Queens Floral Head Wreath.
The Sweetpea Living Pentacle Vine.

Symbolism.

Snail - steady progress and patience. You will eventually reach your goal. Also ohightened senses (antennas)
Snail Shell Spiral - going within, spiritual awareness.
Queen Black Ant -proactive progress. Success in managing a colony, team work, working to achieve a goal. Keeping order. I chose a queen ant because she is amazing with her organised work force, and care of babies (larvae) also the ability to farm aphids, so much inteligence in a tiny creature. But my queen ant is paying homage to the Earth Queen offering fruit.
Apple - for me represents nature, nutrition and health.
Faerie - she appeared by accident. Or did she? She I feel represents the earth spirit. The mysteries and magic that the Queen of Pentacles can appreciate and converse with.
Seashell - protection. Also can represent the moon, the tides, the cycles of the moon and intuition.
Floral Head Wreath - this is her crown, of roses which for me mean love and family and joy. There are also Livingstone Daisies which take so much time to grown from seed and are very beautiful, I grow them for my little girl. They represent patience to me, time taken to be rewarded with beauty, joy and life, all the colours of the rainbow. Respecting a time process and patience. Care and nurturing.
Tulips - for me represent elegance and grace, standing tall and proud, confidence and classic. They are also beautiful in rows, and I keep hearing the nursety rhyme Mary Mary Quite Contrary.
Sweetpea Pentacle - money and success through hard work and patience. Home life, children, love and nurturing. Growth expansion and progression in life. Beauty in nature and humanity, charity to our fellow human beings. Materialism, appriciation in taking comfort in material posessions. Joy and freedome to be creative

There is so much more deeper symbolic meaning I know, so this was just my little interperatation, where my thoughts were coming from.

Hope you like her :.)



Here she is.

Became totally confused with the seasonal attribution. But got it clear in my head now.

Pentacles spring
Cups summer
Wands Autumn
Swords winter.
