Page of Wands

The Page of Wands stands for learning, curiosity and a strength in development: the possibility is explored up close and asks to be tested.

What the card shows

A page with a bare head, in a short tunic, holds a staff taller than himself whose base touches the ground. His body leans towards the shaft, one hand resting on it.

Its light

Curiosity put to the test becomes know-how: you learn fast by accepting to do badly at first, and the clumsy gesture corrects itself with use.

Its shadow

The impulse goes in all directions and few things reach the end: open projects, none delivered, and the next novelty takes the place of the previous one. Curiosity replaces finishing.

Notes on the symbolism

Symbolism TdM. The page opens the court figures and learns the trade; tarots printed for export carry the word FRANCE engraved at the edge.

What this card invites you to do

Start clumsily rather than waiting to be ready: the first attempt teaches more than preparation. What you learn settles in the gesture, then corrects itself on contact with reality.

A card does not decide for you.
It shows you where to look.

Draw three cards and get a reading that starts from your question, not from a generic text. The card of the day is free every day.
