What you can see

A crowned figure looks down at a pentacle held in her lap, seated in a flowering landscape. A small rabbit appears near the lower edge.

What Waite says

Waite emphasizes generosity, security and breadth of spirit. The act of looking at the emblem is part of his account of serious, contemplative intelligence.

In the Thoth deck

Waite’s courts are King, Queen, Knight and Page. Thoth has Knight, Queen, Prince and Princess, so a rank does not carry straight across. See both ways to match them.
