Divinatory meanings:
- Page of Wands
- A very strong and beautiful woman, with flowing red—golden hair,
attired like an Amazon. Her shoulders, arms, bosoms and knees are
bare. She wears a short kilt, reaching to the knees. Round her
waist is a broad belt of scale mall, narrow at the side, broad in
the front and back, and having a winged tiger's head in front. She wears a Corinthian shaped Helmet, and crown, with a long plume. It
also is surmounted by a tiger‘s head, and the same symbol forms the
buckle of her scale-mall buskins.
A mantle lined with Tiger's skin falls back from her shoulders. Her right hand rests on a small golden or brazen Altar, ornamented with Ram's heads, and with Flames of Fire leaping from it. Her left hand leans on a long and heavy club, swelling at the lower end, where the sigil is placed. It has flames of fire leaping from it the whole way down, but the flames are ascending. This Club or torch is much longer than that carried by the King or Queen. Beneath her firmly placed feet are leaping Flames of Fire.
Brilliance, courage, beauty, force, sudden in anger, or love, desire of power, enthusiasm, revenge. Ill-dignified, superficial, theatrical, cruel, unstable, domineering.

mixture of Minerva and Diana, her mantle resembles the Aegis of

altar with grey smoke (no fire) ascending from it. Beneath her feet
