Knight of Wands

The Knight of Wands stands for action that is mobile, committed and deliberate. He carries the drive of the wand in a more self-standing form.

What the card shows

A rider in a plumed hat carries a thick staff on his shoulder. His horse, draped in a pale cape down to the ground, stands in profile with its head turned to the side.

Its light

Deciding sharply puts movement into reality: the matter moves forward because no one waits anymore. Your will does not need to be explained at length, it needs to be held.

Its shadow

The rider sees far ahead and loses sight of what remains on the side. You commit without checking, and what was not looked at comes back when coming back costs more than having looked.

Notes on the symbolism

Symbolism TdM. The knight occupies the middle of the court figures: between the page who learns and the queen who embodies, he is the one who sets things moving.

What this card invites you to do

Commit without hesitating, but plan a halt before the decisive leap. Check your course while you can still correct it.
