The Queens are the 13th Card of the Tarot suits not by accident. They are the Mothers 👩🍼 and Nuturers 🌱 of the court cards and the number 13th is anciently linked to Femininity.
Firstly, the lunar cycles 🌛🌕🌜 There are 13 full moons a year, which aligns with women's menstrual and fertility cycles and so in turn creation and birth.
Secondly, Friday the 13th used to be considered a powerful and lucky 🍀 day in pre-patriarchal cultures. It was a sacred day to worship goddesses, especially the Norse Goddess Freya after which Friday is named.
Even in Christian religion, the Virgin Mary is associated with the number 13 as she was present during the ascention of the Holy Ghost along with the 12 apostles making her the 13th person.
Little intricate details and choices like this are one of the reasons I love Tarot.
