The Ace of Wands

Ace of Wands, Rider Waite Smith

The Suit of Wands

Wands are connected to the element of Fire - Energy, Enthusiasm and Action!

This links to our identity. It’s our spirit and our will.

It’s how we act based on instinct and desire.

Fire energy is transformational.

It can be the spark that burns like wildfire but it can equally burn out.

Aces

The beginning

The spark, the seed, the ideas or the connection.

Its not a promise of what’s to come, only the potential of what is possible.
