Page of Wands

The Page of Wands expresses curiosity in action: a possibility gets explored, looked at closely and asks to be tried.

What the card shows

A young figure holds his wand in both hands and looks at it, standing in a desert landscape. Mountains and three trees rise behind him.

Its light

A curiosity that turns into a test becomes a skill: you learn fast by accepting to do it badly, and the clumsy gesture corrects itself on contact with what is real.

Its shadow

The drive goes in several directions and little gets finished: projects opened, none delivered. The next new thing takes the place of the work already begun.

Notes on the symbolism

RWS. Page of Wands. The new leaves on the page’s shaft open a motif that the queen and the king take up: the sprout returns across the figures.

What this card invites you to do

Try it, look at what reality sends back to you, correct. Learning happens in the gesture, not in the preparation.

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