#2 of Wands

[ragnarockz]

This is probably a stretch BUT

We know that Agatha's tarot card is depicted by showing us not 3 literal swords but 3 sticks/branches/'wands' (which of course is another tie to nature but I'm not here for that)

The broom scene. The group uses what's available and what has always been available; branches/sticks/fair-sized logs. And they are meant to be what they are, broom handles were/are still made of wood (this is not an exchange of a sword for a stick or vice-versa)

The broom exchange between Rio and Agatha is obviously romantic. So, of course, what is the 2 of Wands in Tarot?

If we're solely looking at it in a romantic light, the 2 of Wands generally reads as: setting romantic goals, making plans with love in mind and, planning for a future together with said loved one. Ultimately, having to make decisions with the person you love.

And we know from that scene that these two were so in synch with enchanting their soon-to-be brooms, how they decorated them for each other, and even the intense gazing at one another as they walked in a circle together to enchant. Even the hand-off, we have Rio letting her hand linger on Agatha's.

They've been making decisions together and continue to make them.

Monster Girl October Tarot Day 13: Hylonome from Ovid's Metamorphoses as the 2 of wands!

Hylonome is a centaur who fights in war alongside her husband, the two of which are upheld as the perfectly mutual relationship. However, when her husband dies in war, Hylonome decides to take her own life to join him. The 2 of wands has some wildly different interpretations, some centered around courage and daring, some around success and power, but most readings center it around a decision being made. Do you stay or go? How do you plan for what's ahead? What new stage will you travel to? Ovid similarly uses the half human half horse centaurs to explore pairs of options or possibilities. War and love, life and death, man and woman, and human and animal. It all can be present at once!

Introduction to Wands Arcana

In the realm of the arcana, the wand symbolizes our momentum, willpower, drive, and even our disposition. It embodies the heat of the game, represented by a courageous cudgel or baton, akin to that of a warrior. The wand is not just a physical tool but a conduit for magical forces and energies. It signifies the pursuit of victory and the path to becoming the best, the first, the great hero. Additionally, it represents the dynamics of conflicts and disputes, making it the suit of war.

Disclaimer: The way I learned to read tarot cards does not involve the use of upright and reversed positions. Instead, they rely on their symbology, positive and negative meanings, and the readings depend more on the spread rather than whether the card is upright or reversed. Also, the Court Cards will also have its separate post and I'm using Rider-Waite as reference.

Ace of Wands

Symbolism:

The Ace of Wands ignites the spark within us, the very essence that sets things in motion. Just like a spark requires oxygen and fuel, this arcane speaks of taking what you have and transforming it into something extraordinary. It embodies a profound impetus, comparable to a roaring rocket or a sudden burst of energy. It signifies an intense desire to act, and the card depicts a vibrant, living wood emerging from the ground, symbolizing the manifestation of our willpower.

Positive Interpretation:

This card radiates the energy of the present moment, urging us to seize the opportunities that surround us. It represents the strength of now, urging us to take what we possess and embark on our chosen path. It symbolizes the energy of combustion and encourages us to take the reins of the situation and make things happen. It marks the beginning, fueled by the courage, willpower, and forward movement required for a successful startup.

Negative Interpretation:

The negative aspect of the Ace of Wands warns against impatience, anxiety, and the tendency to rush into action prematurely. It advises the cultivation of calmness and patience. It may also indicate a misguided and aggressive approach, lacking the necessary elements to produce a fruitful outcome. It serves as a reminder of the importance of courage and the perils of succumbing to fear.

2 of Wands

Symbolism:

While the Ace of Wands represents the spark, the 2 of Wands represents the fuel that sustains that energy. The card depicts a figure holding a wand with a globe, symbolizing the potential of the initial spark, while another wand stands behind. This card signifies the interplay between forward momentum and the supporting elements. It prompts us to understand the nature of fire and its inherent oscillations.

Positive Interpretation:

The 2 of Wands signifies having the necessary support and resources to pursue our goals, dreams, and desires. It highlights the ability to handle existing responsibilities while pushing boundaries and reaching new heights. It advocates for a balance between action and rest, and it emphasizes the power of collaboration and partnerships.

Negative Interpretation:

In its negative aspect, the 2 of Wands warns of obstacles and limitations that hinder progress. It suggests the challenge of multitasking and the inability to fully devote oneself to multiple endeavors. It reflects the notion of being spread too thin, resulting in a lack of fuel to sustain the desired outcomes. It may also indicate conflicts and opposition, both external and self-imposed.

3 of Wands

Symbolism:

The 3 of Wands represents significant acts of courage and bravery. In the imagery of the card, a person stands at the port, observing ships depart and arrive, signifying the grandness of these actions in that era. It embodies the spirit of venturing into uncharted territories and discovering new horizons. The card suggests that with dedicated energy and effort, one can conquer anything. The two sticks in the background symbolize balanced energies that support and assist you on your journey.

Positive Interpretation:

This card signifies a strong willingness to take action and overcome obstacles. It reflects confidence and self-belief, urging you to be determined and find a way to achieve your desires. It embodies courage, dynamism, and a desire to travel and explore distant places. It represents a yearning to go beyond your current boundaries and expand your universe. The 3 of Wands heralds great adventures and significant decisions in your life.

Negative Interpretation:

In its negative aspect, the 3 of Wands warns against recklessly pursuing any adventure without grounding yourself. It cautions against constant restlessness and a perpetual dissatisfaction that drives you to expend energy without finding fulfillment. It can indicate an avoidance of responsibilities and impulsive actions without careful consideration. It may lead to entanglements and turning away from the present and the future, ultimately causing a sense of being lost. It may also represent distant and unreachable relationships.

4 of Wands

Symbolism:

The 4 of Wands symbolizes the union of essential elements, representing the culmination of the spark, fuel, and expansive abilities. It signifies a joyful bonfire of energy. The card features a festoon, symbolizing congratulations, and a wedding, representing the union of collective efforts for the common good. It embodies the stability of energy, celebration, movement, and the rhythmic flow of energy.

Positive Interpretation:

This card announces celebrations, unions, happiness, and harmony. It signifies successful teamwork and the creation of positive events. It represents stability and balance of energy, indicating that things are progressing well in various aspects of life.

Negative Interpretation:

The negative aspect of the 4 of Wands brings a sense of instability. It suggests difficulties in organizing events, unions, or collaborative efforts. The energies may be in friction, leading to feuds, discord, disputes, or excessive competitiveness. The uncontrolled nature of the bonfire can prevent the realization of desired events or outcomes.

5 of Wands

Symbolism:

In the desire to be a superhero, the 5 of Wands engage in a fierce battle. It represents an attempt to showcase courage and strength, even if the ultimate goal of becoming a champion remains elusive. In the card, each person wears different attire symbolizing different elements, and they appear to be attempting to form a pentagram.

Positive Interpretation:

This card encourages you to step into the fight, to advocate for what you want, and to give your best effort. It signifies the importance of resilience, self-assertion, and taking responsibility for overcoming personal challenges. It prompts you to stand out and invest more energy in pursuing your goals.

Negative Interpretation:

The negative aspect of the 5 of Wands represents individuals who are unlikely to succeed due to their inability to work together harmoniously. It signifies conflicts, fights, and violence. It denotes situations of intense rivalry and opposing forces. It warns of stumbling blocks, disrupted sexuality, feuds, and the destructive energies associated with uncontrolled fire.

6 of Wands

Symbolism:

The 6 of Wands represents the triumph of fire, the ability to solve problems through victory. It signifies the first attempt of the suit to become a hero. In the card, five sticks raise the sixth one, symbolizing the glorification of achievement. The white horse represents nobility, while the laurel wreath symbolizes victory.

Positive Interpretation:

This card embodies glory, success, and the recognition of one's achievements. It signifies being seen, acknowledged, and validated by others for your accomplishments. It represents overcoming problems, obstacles, and surpassing predetermined limitations. It is associated with great leadership and the ability to break barriers.

Negative Interpretation:

In its negative aspect, the 6 of Wands announces the triumph of others while experiencing personal loss. It can indicate threats, violence, and the imposition of one's will in a way that instills fear in others. It may evoke a sense of surveillance, imprisonment, and a false sense of victory and conquest.

7 of Wands

Symbolism:

The 7 of Wands spiritualizes the fire element, representing the inner fire that emanates from the soul and the seven chakras. It embodies the process of overcoming oneself and becoming a protector. It symbolizes great resilience and the ability to believe in oneself. In the card, a figure wields a bat, facing off against six others.

Positive Interpretation:

This card signifies the presence of energy, confidence, and necessary faith. It represents the momentum required to overcome obstacles. It is also associated with the spiritual realm and the guidance and protection of mentors. It represents a well-directed energy field where obstacles become stepping stones for progress.

Negative Interpretation:

In its negative aspect, the 7 of Wands represents individuals who are skittish and easily succumb to fear. It can manifest as fear transformed into aggression, creating a defensive and impenetrable shell. In the spiritual realm, it signifies energetic opposition and an inability to measure one's own strength.

8 of Wands

Symbolism:

The 8 of Wands symbolizes energy in motion, akin to the accelerating tail of a rocket. In the card, the open sky represents the vast expanse where such immense energy can flourish. This card signifies acceleration, movement, and the hastening of circumstances. It embodies the will to manifest dreams and desires relentlessly.

Positive Interpretation:

This card represents a powerful surge toward success and progress. It indicates new paths and abundant possibilities. It symbolizes the unfolding of wings to navigate through challenges. It signifies the presence of light, the advent of glory, and the imminent arrival of salvation. It encourages acceleration, speed, and the determination to reach goals.

Negative Interpretation:

In its negative aspect, the 8 of Wands warns against aimless acceleration and the wasteful expenditure of energy. It signifies a failure to hit the intended target and an excessive use of energy without purpose or direction. It may represent disorientation and unbalanced energy, going too fast and engaging in unscrupulous acts to achieve one's goals. It can also symbolize attacks or acts of aggression resembling arrows.

9 of Wands

Symbolism:

The 9 of Wands represents reaching the ember, a point where all available energy is needed for a specific purpose. In the card, eight sticks are shown protruding, while the ninth stick is held by the figure, signifying readiness for action.

Positive Interpretation:

This card embodies responsibility for one's actions and the ability to accomplish the seemingly impossible. It signifies the ability to undertake great works and face numerous challenges with unwavering self-belief and a sense of responsibility. It represents the strength that arises from discipline, determination, and accumulated experience. It also acknowledges the effort exerted in the face of weariness.

Negative Interpretation:

In its negative aspect, the 9 of Wands can represent the forceful subjugation of others or becoming enslaved by one's responsibilities. It may indicate carrying burdens that are heavier than one can bear, leading to dark accomplishments and projects that fail due to lack of energy. It warns against irresponsibility, using limited energy solely for personal gain, and experiencing exhaustion or excessive excitement that cannot be calmed.

10 of Wands

Symbolism:

The 10 of Wands signifies the fulfillment of the desire to become a great hero. It represents mastering oneself and one's own world. In the card, a lone figure carries the weight of the entire suit, symbolizing great strength and immense effort.

Positive Interpretation:

This card represents the realization of aspirations and the embodiment of bravery and nobility. It signifies the ability to take on numerous tasks and responsibilities, akin to setting fire to the rain. It denotes the capability to handle everything that comes your way, overcoming obstacles with an abundance of spiritual energy.

Negative Interpretation:

In its negative aspect, the 10 of Wands warns against attempting to do everything independently, resulting in the centralization of activities and overwhelming oneself. It signifies the burden of excessive effort, encountering significant problems or attacks, and facing formidable opponents. It may suggest experiencing energy spikes that the physical body cannot sustain and encountering difficulties in working collaboratively or as part of a collective. It cautions against reverse leadership or assuming excessive control.

What Situation Requires You To Trust Your Intuition? - Pick A Card - High Priestess Edition

Readings are under the read more.  Video version is also included in source link.

Pile 1/Modern Witch

The first card to come out for this pile was the 6 of Pentacles.  This has to deal with reciprocation.  A lot with getting back as much as you are giving in a situation.  For the majority of you, I feel like this is connected to respect and/or appreciation from others in your life.  

The second card to come out for this pile was Everything Is Fine, which is one of two 10 of Swords in this deck.  This is associated with painful endings.  I don’t feel like these endings have occurred for most of you yet, but you may know that they are needed.  I feel like you are likely trying to carry on as though everything is fine, even when it isn’t.

The third card to come out for this pile was the Page of Cups.  This is associated with emotional communication.  I feel like this is you knowing that you need to express your emotions and needs more, especially in regards to relationships in your life where you feel like you aren’t appreciated and/or respected - which is the main message your intuition is likely trying to get you to notice.  

The first oracle card to come out for this pile was Law Of Attraction.  This is generally thought of with romantic relationships, but it applies to more than just that.  I feel like the most important part of this card for this pile was the invest wisely aspect, since that relates strongly to that 6 of Pentacles and wanting to get back as much as you are giving to situations.

The second oracle card to come out was Joker - Things Are Never As They Seem.  This may suggest that there’s more than meets the eye in a situation, which you likely already feel with the topic of this read.  I feel like you may not have fully pinpointed what is wrong though just yet and are in the process of doing so.

Pile 2/Supernatural

The first card to come out for this pile was the 7 of Pentagrams, which is basically the 7 of Pentacles in this deck.  This is associated at looking things that are worth investing time into for long-term results.  These things often require patience, since the results aren’t seen quickly.  This can be a variety of things, including relationships.  For the majority of you, I feel it is more of a personal idea that you are considering pursuing.  Kinda like trying to start your own business or going into a certain field.

The second card to come out was the 2 of Bones, which is basically the 2 of Wands in this deck.  This is associated with making personal choices.  In this case, I feel like the choice is related about whether or not you want to pursue an idea and if said idea would pay off in the long-run.  I feel like this choice is what you are called to trust your intuition about, which is likely easier said than done (at least for my personality lol).

The third card to come out for this pile was the Ace of Blades, which is basically the Ace of Swords in this deck.  This is associated with ideas and thoughts.  Basically, I feel like this is the idea that you are considering pursuing.  

The first oracle card to come out for this pile was Focus On Service.  This card is associated with people that enjoy helping others.  This may suggest that you’re considering pursuing something that you feel will let you help others.  There’s also a reminder of this card to make sure to maintain boundaries, since helping is good but you don’t want to end up being taken advantage of.  

The second oracle card to come out for this pile was Intimacy - Open Up And Get Close.  There are a few ways I feel this could apply.  The first is that connections with others is strongly associated with the choice that you are considering.  Like, the choice could be something that results in connections and needing to open up to others to form those connections.  The other is that you could be advised to open up to others close to you for their advice on the choice you’re considering and their potential support for whatever option you choose to pursue.  Just remember to keep in mind that the choice is yours.

Pile 3/Garbage Pail Kids

The first card to come out for this pile was the 10 of Coins.  This is associated with financial stability and stability in the family.  It’s a great place to be at, but doesn’t come easy.

The second card to come out for this pile was the 10 of Wands.  This is associated with being worn out due to all of the responsibilities that you are carrying.  I feel like a lot of these responsibilities are connected to you trying to maintain that 10 of Coins too much on your own without relying on the others involved.  This could be a temporary situation, such as a health issue with a family member that has led you to take on more than usual.

The third card to come out for this pile was The World.  This is associated with something coming to an end.  This is generally positive and is something that leaves you feeling accomplished in some way.  This pile is definitely heading towards the end of some kind of cycle with this card and the other two cards both being 10s.  I feel like your intuition may be trying to guide you on how to finish a possibly difficult cycle up.

The first oracle card to come out for this pile was Relationship.  This is a lot about remembering to take care of yourself because a neglected/worn out/frustrated you isn’t helpful to the relationships in your life, even if you are wearing yourself out to try to help those you care about.

The second oracle card to come out for this pile was Humility - Bow Down.  Basically, I feel like this card is suggesting some humility as you acknowledge what your limits are.  Unfortunately, we all have our limits and it isn’t always easy to admit when things are getting to be too much.  I do feel like this is something that you need to do or you’re going to end up being burned out, if you aren’t already.

Pile 4/Rider-Waite

The first card to come out for this pile was the 9 of Cups.  This has to with happiness and contentment.  This is a more personal happiness rather than the 10 of Cups which is happiness with others.  I feel like this is something that you have been working on and that you have begun becoming more happy/content with things in your life.

The second card to come out for this pile was the Knight of Wands.  This is associated with being spontaneous.  I feel like this is you trying to take more chances and explore more opportunities.  A lot with just trying to be more carefree rather than super stressed.  I think your intuition is trying to push you towards this a bit.

The third card to come out for this pile was the King of Swords.  This is a logical individual who thinks before they act.  I feel like this is your typical nature.  This likely makes the Knight of Wands aspects a bit difficult for you since you prefer to think things through quite a bit before taking chances.  For a few of you, it could be vice versa with you generally being more like the Knight of Wands and your intuition encouraging you to act a bit more like the King of Swords at times.  

The first oracle card to come out for this pile was Steady Progress.  Basically, you have been and are continuing to make slow, steady progress.  I feel like the progress you’ve been making is connected to that 9 of Cups and your happiness.

The second oracle card to come out for this pile was Guilt - Turn Off The Alarm.  I think this is something that you’ve been working on or need to work on.  Basically, trying to release any feelings of guilt that you’ve been carrying with you.  These don’t even have to necessarily be from things you’ve done.  Perhaps this includes making some apologies, but a lot of taking steps to not carry such heavy feelings with you.

Pile 5/Mystical Manga

The first card to come out for this pile was the 9 of Wands.  This is associated with perseverance and standing your ground.  There can be repetitive battles/challenges with this card.  This is likely beginning to wear you out, but you’re still persevering through whatever comes your way.

The second card to come out for this pile was the 5 of Cups.  This is associated with disappointments and processing negative emotions.  I feel like a lot of the negativity that you are dealing with is a result of the issues that you’re dealing with from that 9 of Wands.  

The third card to come out for this pile was The Fool.  This is associated with starting new things.  I feel like this isn’t something you’re doing yet, since you’re focusing on healing from current/recent past experiences.  I feel like your intuition will likely let you know when you are ready to move on to something new.

The first oracle card to come out for this pile was Fresh Air.  This has a lot to do with spending time outside to calm yourself.  A lot of you may enjoy spending time in nature/outdoors and find that it helps to calm you.  This may not be that easy depending on weather (it’s cold here - it just snowed again today).  

The second oracle card to come out for this pile was Imagination - Get The Big Picture.  I feel like this is encouraging you to imagine for the future, kinda like the 7 of Cups.  I feel like this will help you be ready when it’s time for you to begin your next chapter as the Fool.

Card of the Day - 2 of Wands - Monday, November 4, 2024

The Scorpio Sun and Saturn in Pisces will join forces in a positive manner today, encouraging you to make choices in your best interest for the long term. Should you be facing a crossroads, a new direction on your path might be in order, and while the outcome of it all is unknown at this time, choosing a more lasting commitment, rather than a short-term fix will put you off to where you need to…

[thepigeontarot]

Today, think about what you can do with the resources you have acquired through hard work and your own efforts. Take what you have and keep on building upon it or use it to help others build. If you are willing and able, you can keep the momentum moving forward, aspire to do more, not just for yourself, but for others, or for the world around you. How can you create? How can you inspire? How can you motivate? What can you provide? 🐈‍⬛

[thepatchworkcrow]

Still been plugging away at the tarot deck, but the progress has been slow. Here’s the 4 of pentacles, 10 of cups, queen of cups, The Devil, The Sun, queen of pentacles, and 2 of wands.

[numinously-yours]

Pick a card: What needs to be re-awakened within you?

[Options include: Pile 1, a peach colored flower with 5 round petals; Pile 2, a light purple flower with 8 thinner petals; Pile 3, a cream colored flower with 5 round, stout petals]

[Alt. Text: Box with tarot and oracle cards. Tarot cards include: 5 of pentacles in reverse, 7 of swords in reverse, page of cups up right, ace of wands up right. Oracle cards include: Choose Wisely (Be discerning. You don't have to keep everything in your net). Flow (let your worries drift away). Optimism (After each rainstorm, there will be clear skies). Card with stop watch which says: I give me space to breath in this moment and recognize there is beauty in life's pauses. Card with outline of facial features, a swirl in between brows, which says: I stand up for what I believe in]

Pile 1: Channel Your Energy Effectively

Pile 1: Recognize the value you bring to your life - to your work, to your relationships, and to yourself. You'll notice in the top right corner of the Page of Cups that there is a small pig with wings... You don't have to wait until pig fly in order to let yourself breathe. I am guessing that you are a pretty big empath - me too. Empathy can get overwhelming and that does NOT make you a bad person. You cannot be everything to everyone and it is okay to set boundaries on your space. Know that you will always be the advocate that you want to be, even when you require space and time. Stop self-deceiving, too, pile 1. Your mind can be mean so remember to empathize with yourself, too. In addition to re-awakening your knowledge of needing (and deserving) space, you should also re-awaken your inner child! Allow yourself to dream. Allow yourself to create. Trust your inner voice!

[Alt. Text: Box with tarot and oracle cards. Tarot cards include: 2 of wands reversed, the Hermit, 8 of wands with knoight of swords, and seven of pentacles. Oracle cards include: Stillness (In calm waters, everything becomes clear). The Ocean (be beautiful, mysterious, wild, and free). Card with sunflower which says: I am good enough. Card with two raised hands which says: The universe is filled with endless opportunities for me.]

Pile 2: Re-awaken spontaneity & let go of the fear of the unknown

Hey pile two: Are you having trouble letting go and going with the flow? It happens! It's time to reawaken the belief in yourself. Instead of ruminating on everything, try to get yourself to make swift decisions. This doesn't mean they aren't thought through, it just means the decisions are being made more quickly. Harvesting the ability to make choices will reap long-term results. How do you even start? Believe that you are enough!! Take the time for introspection. That may sound counterintuitive when I just said to make more decisions more quickly, but introspection can bring you answers. Trust your gut, be yourself. Once you start to understand that the universe is filled with possibilities, you'll start to feel them in your soul.

[Alt Text: Box with tarot and oracle cards. Tarot cards include: Queen of pentacles in reverse, two of swords, ace of cups, four of swords. Oracle cards include: Generosity (What good is treasure if you keep it for yourself). Direction (Trust your inner compass and find your bearings). Card with diamond shaped cage with heart inside: I am a loveable person. Card with outline of facial features, a swirl in between brows, which says: I stand up for what I believe in]

Pile 3: Reawaken your focus on self care.

Dear pile 3, you may be having more trouble than usual finding rest and time to heal. But it's not too late to bring this back as a part of your normal routine. You may be hesitating because you feel that you have too much to get done and, if you don't, things will crumble. BUT you can't do your best work if you're exhausted. Taking care of yourself will help you strengthen your self-compassion. It will allow you to regain emotional fulfillment. It will be easier to forgive yourself for your "flaws" and knowing you're doing what you can with what you have. Please know that the fight for what you believe in will still be there after you rest. Others know that you are kind, compassionate, and generous. You are loved and you will be loved even if you step back.

2 of Wands. Weiser Waite Smith Tarot

A man, a wealthy aristocrat of high breeding, holds the world in his hand as he looks out into the horizon. He wears a red hat. To his left and right are two wands growing up and out from the castle walls. He wears a red cap of prosperity. All is calm and serene in his kingdom below. The Two of Wands is associated with artistic or scientific success or professional success. It is about balance or gain in work and career. It could also indicate big ambitions. The Seeker has accomplished much (or possibly inherited much) but still wants more—the Seeker wants the world. The card calls to mind Alexander the Great: someone who has inherited a kingdom from his family, yet the Seeker would not be satisfied with ruling the kingdom his family built; Seeker wants to expand further and beyond. The Seeker wants to conquer on his or her own merits. In practical application, the card suggests that early stages of an enterprise are going to be fruitful, though there may be a period of waiting. The card could also indicate a worldly, aristocratic, educated individual with great creative ability for the advancement of arts and science. Compare: Three of Wands, which indicates business or commercial success. Two of Wands indicates innovative, artistic, or scientific success. Note that throughout the Minor Arcana, hats indicate externalized thought. A red hat represents thoughts of ambition or greatness and trying to implement action to those thoughts. Benebel Wen
