What does the Suit of Wands mean?
Cards in the Wands suit are generally brightly coloured illustrating the optimism and action contained within the cards; yellow for optimism and red for action. The card designs are usually cheerful. The people on the suit are often shown as warriors, leaders or magicians – bold and creative people who charge forth in life with confidence and energy.
The Wands themselves are sometimes shown as branches sprouting leaves or flowers, as wooden staffs, poles, clubs or sometimes flaming torches.
Wands are linked to creativity and energy as well as enthusiasm, willpower and daily activities. Wands describe our attitudes, abilities or situations that offer the potential to succeed through utilising one’s own talents and imagination. Self-expression or fulfilling one’s own potential will be important when Wands are prevalent in a reading as will the renewal of energy, plans or adventures.
Wands remind a person to use their intuition instead of always relying on logical solutions to problems, to have fun or to be creative.
This suit corresponds to the fire element and is active, bold, linked with Spirit, self-expression and inspiration. Personal power, growth and expansion are the order of the day. The element of Fire represents yang / masculine energy and, as with Swords, is associated with phallic symbolism.
