Princess of Arrows
The Princess of Arrows is this deck’s version of the Page of Swords. In the Lover’s Path Tarot set, the Princesses are represented by famed goddesses, and this particular card references the Greek Goddess Psyche.
Psyche was naive, immature, curious and capricious. Also quite beautiful. But she was born a mortal and only became a goddess after many trials and tribulations. Her story is one of ultimate growth and redemption, but not without wreaking havoc at almost every turn.
In this version of the card we see a young Psyche holding an arrow and surrounded by butterflies. The Greek word for butterfly is Psyche (also the word for “Soul’). The arrow comes from Cupid, who accidentally pricked himself, thus binding them together for eternity.
The Pages / Princesses all represent the first sign of their related element: in this case Air and therefore Gemini. As they’re also all very youthful, we often see the more immature and unbridled energy associated with those signs.
With Gemini those qualities — curiosity, skepticism, rash words and impulsivity — are the very things that got Psyche into trouble.
Whether this is a young person in your life or just someone behaving childishly — or whether it’s you embodying some of those qualities — know that there are advantages and disadvantages to the Princess of Arrows energy. Curiosity and spontaneity can drive your creative juices. You can get a lot accomplished if you’re fast on your toes and full of fresh ideas.
But you’ll also want to look out for (and protect yourself from) the more negative aspects of this archetype. Gossip, pettiness, duplicity and spite — all can have long-term repercussions and should be avoided at all costs.
Today’s card — Princess of Arrows — comes from the Lover’s Path Tarot, by Kris Waldherr, published by US Games.
Kris Waldherr is also the creator of the Goddess Tarot and the author of several books.
The deck is also available for iPad, iphone and iPod Touch. There’s also a fun Lover’s Path Oracle available to try the deck out for yourself on her website.
