The Luciferian Tarot: Queen of Wands

Queen of Wands: Represented by Naamah, the Younger Lilith.This is raw, seductive charisma, the force of nature who rules with both her passion (body) and her intellect (mind). The perfect Luciferian balance. How does one embody this? Let's find out

In traditional tarot, Queen of Wands is associated with traits like confidence, charm, action, and independence. Strong leadership, and high energy, one with the power to take charge and act without needing permission.

To better understand Naamah and "the Younger Lilith" depicted in the Luciferian Tarot, we need to take a look at Kabbalistic literature, Rabbi Isaac Ben Jacob ha-Cohen's Treatise on the Left Emanation and the Zohar.

The 13th century Treatise on the Left Emanation describes two distinct Lilith's. The greater Elder Lilith is joined to Samael, an androgynous intertwined pair mirroring Adam and Eve. This Younger Lilith is partner to Asmodai, or Asmodeus, the great king of demons.

As the wife of Asmodeus, or Asmodai, she is the bride of warlike pride and emotion, depicted in her beautiful top half and flames engulfing her lower half.

In the Zohar, the idea of this Younger Lilith becomes the framework for Naamah, one of four consorts to Samael alongside Lilith, Aggereth, and Eisheth Zenunim, demonic queens and angels of sacred prostitution.

Naamah the Younger Lilith represents a youthful, earthly, and vibrant counterpart to the more primordial Elder Lilith. In the Tree of Death she is associated with Malkuth's husk, Nahemoth or Lilith, Black Earth where spirit manifests into material.

The initiate holds the desire, the thirst (or Trshna) for continued existence and knowledge. To enter Nahemoth is to desire to consume and become, the essence of predatory spirituality. A great starting point for the initiate seeking to grow further from the Qliphoth.

Where these two diverging ideas unite is that she is the impulsive maiden who is the fire which mixes with Samael (or Asmodai) to beget the Black Flame. This is much like the Persian Az-Jeh, who rouses Ahriman from his lethargy and sleep, stirring his passion.

Parallels to this dynamic and the practice of Ahrimanic Yoga can be made, where Kundalini is Az or Lilith. Consider the Queen of Wands as not just outwardly beautiful, but one who practices "Dushuktha" or "Evil Word", planning ones words to create the desired effect.

Digging deeper, we can also associate the Queens in traditional Tarot to Binah, third Sephira. The great maternal womb, giving birth to form. The Qliphothic counterpart to this is Satariel, ruled by Lucifuge. "Concealers" of perfection.

In Satariel, we see a new side to this card, where the self is continually imperfect, and seeks to confront and overcome challenges. Where on the surface you see the beautiful, charming, youthful maiden, under the surface there must be the Will to form. Conscious word and action.

Binah is "Understanding", the secret knowledge of Saturn, and to understand, seek the Empyrean and Infernal realms within yourself. Balance and unite both within your willed desire and create exterior change.

Reaching the end of this post, we see the balance in Queen of Wands in the Luciferian Tarot between the body and mind, and its role in the power of seduction.
