“A child learns how to speak when it hears others doing so. We are here to serve as mirrors for each other; so we can learn by setting the example.“
By being true to the Self, the Queen of Challenges supports the ultimate energy of Yin and attains a goal that serves herself as well as the greater good.
The Queen of Challenges gives herself unconditionally to that which crosses her path, adding the element of unconditional love to each situation she encounters. She does not expect anything in return for what she has to give as she realizes that the giving in itself gives her ‘The World’ in return.
The 'Nan Yar - Who Am I' card game for personal development includes four colors - or groups - of fourteen cards each. We know these colors from normal card games and the Tarot game as well. The colors represent the Challenges, Insights, Gifts and Tools that everyone has in his or her life. Besides the colors, the game has 21 Trump Cards, or Archetypes, that each have their own Challenge, Insight, Gift or Tool.
The Challenges reflect the incentives every human being encounters on its path that force that person to come into action and create its own life, true to its core. It is the development of the I-consciousness, the nucleus of who you really are, that is at play here, as opposed to the masks people tend to wear in certain situations. Challenges are void of any pretence or make belief. They are so to speak: the real thing, that travels with its rightful owner no matter where that owner goes. It’s the thing one cant hide from or escape. In the game of Tarot, Challenges coincide with Swords.
Element: Fire
Characteristic: Re-birth, Eternity.
The Court Cards (Page, Knight, Queen and King) of each color series have their own rank with which they influence reality on soul level.
We all carry characteristics of the court cards within us. Just as humanity as a whole evolves in the course of existence, overcoming new challenges, acquiring new insights, ultimately getting the chance to improve the quality of life with the available tools; each and every one of us, individually, gets a chance to ‘improve’ during a lifetime. In the course of life, we acquire deeper insights that supersede our basic skills. These insights develop within our core, within our soul, adding to the ‘common’ properties of a being human.
The Queen represents the element of feeling that is part of every development. We can either do things mechanically or as society thinks it should be or we can go about life inspired; engaging, giving, adding part of ourselves.
