She is ideal to represent the message of the Seven of Wands in Our Tarot, which is all about inspiring historical women. In the Rider-Waite-Smith deck the card shows a male fighter on a hill defending their position against many attackers. This version shows a woman on a mountain taking stock of the situation and ready to act. It's about being outnumbered in a fight, but standing strong; having the higher ground and using that to advantage.
The basic meaning given in the book with this deck is: "Challenges, perseverence, righteous anger, rebellion." This is a reading for all those who feel they are being unfairly persecuted and isolated at the moment. The longer message is to have self-confidence because you know you are doing what is right. Stay true to your convictions, but use all of your abilities to support yourself in this time of trouble.
To all of us - consider what is worth taking a stand and fighting for.
All the cards in Our Tarot depict real women rather than goddesses or figures from mythology. The book that comes with the set includes pages of information about them and their importance in the world.
Our Tarot is by Sarah Shipman and is published by Harper Design.
