THE QUEEN OF THE THRONES OF EARTH
The Queen of Disks – Queen of Gnomes
WATER of EARTHMeditation pattern: Place 10 of Wands, 2 of Disks, and 3 of Disks side-by-side, with the Queen of Disks above them. Below the two Disks, place Atu XV, The Devil.
Traditional Description: A woman of beautiful face, with dark hair; seated upon a throne, beneath which is dark sandy earth. One side of her face is light, the other dark; her symbolism is best represented in profile. Her attire is similar to that of the Queen of Wands; but she bears a winged goat’s head as a crest. A goat is by her side. In one hand she bears a scepter surmounted by a cube; in the other an orb of gold.
HEH of HEH-Final (WATER of EARTH): Heh of Heh Final is the nurturing aspect of “Mother Earth.” Besides this literal meaning, the Queen represents that in us which nurtures, and brings to fruition, the primal seed or Will (Knight of Disks); that is, she brings creative action to fruition. As Heh in Assiah, she is the intuitive faculty, or sense of inner guidance, which stands behind our actions – and to which we either listen (to our advantage), or do not (to our disadvantage).
She rules from 20° Sagittarius to 20° Capricorn, including the constellation Aquila. The first two decanates of Capricorn, ruled by Jupiter and Mars, are called HARMONIOUS CHANGE and WORK, respectively. Neshamah is transcendent to the phenomena of manifestation, and is witness to them. She, therefore, perceives the patterns of cyclicity, change, and movement (Kaph) that are the stable foundation of a living and organic world – the means by which seeds of creative action are brought to fruition.
She also represents the application of the Mars force as the motive power of this building – which sometimes includes tearing down, clearing the field, leveling the old in order to make way for improved and progressive building. She witnesses this from a dispassionate distance, participating only by her silent guidance founded on principle rather than dogma or script. Capricorn implies height – the lofty view of the mountain goat – and also renewal through the act of creation. Qabalists relate it to delusion and illusion, especially the tendency to focus on the material form of a thing and not its underlying nature. Whereas that Princess of Swords, being Heh Final, exists on the same plane as these material veils, the Queen of Disks, being Heh, witnesses them from above. She is not fooled by them but, with gentle humor, sees them for what they are. She may, therefore, use this power of formation to her own ends.
She is also associated with the last decanate of Sagittarius, ruled by Saturn and called OPPRESSION. This, which is neither her style nor her basic nature, is, nonetheless, her shadow side. The power to control patterns and destinies from a great height always carries the risk of oppressive tyranny that, ironically, is one of the few things that would abort the particular creation she is gestating and guiding toward its birth.
In divination, she is nurturing, generous; nurtures and develops possibilities, bringing creative action to fruition; kind, charming, great-hearted; intelligent, truthful; with a detached overview; yet impetuous and of shifting moods. If ill-dignified, she is undecided, capricious, changeable, melancholic, foolish; can become oppressively tyrannical.

The Queens of Disks reminds me of my ex-girlfriend. She always seemed a step ahead of the pack and she was a PRO at that shit. What I got out of meditating on the Queens of disks to really listen to my precognition. I noticed a high degree of precognition occuring. It would come in the form of a bodily sensation, followed by a mental image, followed by a word that would arise in my mind and finally, something would happen in physical reality that was in direct correlation to what I was internally experiencing.
