Image of Wands (Tarot)

Wands (Tarot)

Wands correspond to Clubs in a regular deck of cards. Their Greek element is earth. They stand for everything earth-bound and concrete. In the four classes of feudal society, this suit is linked to that of agriculture, the peasants… When a Wands card appears in a reading, its message is concrete: something to do or something done, work and struggle but also their reward in palpable results. The 14 cards of the Wands suit are: Ace of Wands, Two of Wands, Three of Wands, Four of Wands, Five of Wands, Six of Wands, Seven of Wands, Eight of Wands, Nine of Wands, Ten of Wands, Page of Wands, Knight of Wands, Queen of Wands, and King of Wands…
