This card is the Queen of Flints, which corresponds to the Queen of Swords in the standard tarot. She is represented by the goddess of the moon Coyolxauhqui. Her arms, leg and neck are severed, for her brother the sun defeated her in a celestial battle at the dawn of time and severed her limbs from her body, and cast them into the sky where they became the moon. She is enthroned upon the moon, within which sits a jeweled flint, and carries another flint, and a human jawbone in her hands. She floats atop a dark cloud within which are a dark crossroads and more flints, and hovers over the cities and works of man, spreading a baleful influence. She regards all with a dark expression, and snapping monsters growl from her elbows and knees. This card represents widowhood, female sadness, embarrassment, sterility, mourning, and separation.
