“As the mama of the Warrior Goddess movement, an archetype of the oC
ur
divine feminine that I believe is much needed today, I’m passionate about Dow
helping women fi nd their inner strength. This is why I so appreciate on
w
Angela’s Queen Up! and her powerful re-visioning of the tarot queens as W
n
a way to guide women to harness and express their inner potential. Just as h
e
we need more warrior goddess women, we need more women who have n
claimed their archetypical queen: their sovereignty, wisdom, and strength.”

Tarot. By focusing in great depth on just four cards—the Queens in the
different suits—Angela Kaufman shows us how we can use the cards
not just to understand our lives, but to transform them.”

“Take Jung’s archetypes, mix in Tarot, add guidance from someone
knowledgeable in the ways of psychology and magic, and you have
Queen Up!—an insanely accessible guide to becoming a more com-
plete person.”

ods. Kaufman has beautifully given readers a tool for increasing their

“With Queen Up! Angela Kaufman has given us a jolt of inspiration to
reclaim our inborn sovereignty and magic. This is important, reward-
ing work at a crucial juncture in history, and my deep wish is that ev-
ery feminine person alive step into her queenhood. Queen Up! offers
thoughtful and practical guidance to start you on this fulfilling path of
ruling the elements of your world rather than being ruled. So take the
journey Kaufman offers here, and expand your royalty.”
—Carolyn Elliott, PhD, founder of WITCH magazine (badwitch.es)
and author of Existential Kink and Awaken Your Genius
“Queen Up! is an abundance of inspiration! Angela Kaufman’s
extraordinary book offers numerous means to activate our Goddess-
given power. With Queen Up! we delve into powerful archetypes and
learn to incorporate them into our daily lives. We learn rituals to ac-
cess our intuitive knowledge and are offered practical tips to help align
with these powerful archetypes. Throughout Queen Up! are exercises
that guide us toward a deeper sense of self. Queen Up! has it all. The
times they are a-changing. We women are finding our voice, our pow-
er, our creative force. Queen Up! is a tool to help us women achieve
our greatest potential.”
