Page of Wands

The Card: A young person is standing on some barren land with 3 mountain tops. Clothes are yellow and Red. The person is wearing a hat with one feather, observing the staff. The sky is blue and the soil is brown.

Interpretation: There is something new happening here. Even though the land is barren, our person is observing the staff with fresh eyes, and having a feather in the hat as a symbol of freedom, movement and lightness. The land may be void of growth, but it doesn't concern our explorer. He is not very experienced, but there may be something to be seen on those 3 mountaintops.

Prediction: I am beginning fresh every moment. In the time to come I may traverse events, places, or meet people who at first sight appears to hold nothing of value. But with my newfound curiosity and openness I don't believe in that. I will just see what there is without judgement. I am exploring, travelling light and new.

Keywords: Being new, inexperience, travelling with minimum luggage, lightness, no judgement, possibility.

10 Wands

The Card: A young man is walking towards the city, holding 10 wands in his arms. Dominant colours are the yellow ground, his hair and pants, and the village houses. The sky is a bright blue, his vest and the wands are brown.

Interpretation: This man has taken too much upon himself, too much work or too many tasks. He is burdened, walking bent, his face hidden by the effort. Perhaps the wands are the past, which he is carrying with him, unable to let it go. The town looks like a nice place, but he doesn't give himself time to enjoy the community which he is a part of.

Prediction: I am likely to work a lot in the time to come, or I may harbour memories, thoughts and feelings. In any case I will feel encumbered by one or the other. It's time to life my head and see what I am in the middle of. I have lost myself, or am in danger of doing so, if continuing like this.

Keywords: Cumbersomeness, loss of clarity, disconnected, low energy, lack of fun, blind effort.

9 Wands

The Card: A young man in plain clothes is standing in the front, on a Grey surface. He has got a band aid on his head, and he's holding a staff. Another 8 staffs is seen behind him, and beyond is Green hills and a Blue sky.

Interpretation: Our hero has been in a fight, looking weary, and with an injury to his head. He is looking suspiciously to the side, holding his staff, as if more trouble might be coming his way. He believes he has got to fight, that the fight is inevitable. He has come to 'civilisation', seen from the paved surface.

In his mind the way back to nature is partly blocked by the other staffs, but it is not true. Any time he can use the gifts of the staffs, instead of seeing them as a hindrance. For the time being he is immersed in the competitive world. He needs to find the way back to his core, but for that to happen he needs experience.

Prediction: In the time to come, it may prove hard to find peace. In my doings conflict tends to build up. I might loose 'my way' for a time, believing this is the way things has to be. But already now I can return to my true nature. It depends, if I wake up and see that the way to harmony is open.

Keywords: Disharmony, conflict, loss of direction, illusion, fight or flight consciousness, aggression attracts more aggression.

There is the option of prosperity in this valley, green pastures, water, and a pace to live. The staffs are flying over the open country. They can be where ever they want to be, do what ever they want to do. The present Now is open to everything.
