Three Queens

For Three Kings Day

Camels, kings, and a baby; what’s not to love?

Some say the Three Kings of the Magi represented the known continents of the time- Europe, Africa, and Asia. I say the rest of the world doesn't care. We just love the story. But this year, it came to me, that this mystical story of humankind’s journey to wonder at the Divine amongst us — sadly lacks women.

So, from The Three Queens and myself:

For this Twelfth Night/ Three Kings Day/ Feast Day of the Epiphany, ie — the 6th of January, I offer another story. I offer it acknowledging the Divine in all of us, and I offer it with epic music:

Three Queens
If the sky can be painted in a few strokes of blue,
and a twinkling star can lead me to you

Then, what shall I have my Three Queens carry?

One shall bring you the Blessings of Earth Leaves
One will ensure, you’re cloaked, Always in Light
