The Wands inspire the Masculine energy of Fire. Sparks ignite our creativity, drive, will, growth, excitement, and adventures. The difference in creativity between the wands and the cups is that the cups is inspiration and manifestation that stirs from the inside, and the wands are inspiration and manifestation through drive. The manifestation behind the wands can be messy—borderline destructive.
Another difference is in instinct and intuition. Intuition is felt through meditation, clearing of the mind to hear The Hermit speaking inside. Instinct comes from conflict, and adversity, responding to stimulation with fight instead of flight.
In a reading, the wand symbolize action. It’s a moment to show your inspiration or muster some great level of courage. The wand in a reading says that you are so dead set on a single pursuit that it becomes part of your identity. It can also tell you that you’re living life in too safely and not taking any risks. It recommends that you let go a little, have fun and let yourself have a dream. If you want something so badly that it moves you, show the universe how much you’re willing to risk making it come into existence.
The wands defined
Wands symbolize our drive, will, creativity, expression and our instinct to survive. If you can imagine the spark the ignites in you when you are truly excited about something. This is the energy the wands bring, the spark of inspiration that makes life worth living. It’s like pre-adrenaline. It’s the dynamite that goes off after you’ve been depressed and stagnant for months; anger towards lost time, passion to transform yourself into your strongest form.
It is the excited, borderline anxious energy you feel when you know that you’re going to be on an airplane the next day. Instead of sleeping your mind is creating universes of what tomorrow could bring.
These cards are your primal impulse to conquer, create, destroy and rebuild. Let your inspiration bring you to unreached elevations. It is a time that you can use The Wands to transform yourself and your environment.
When there are a lot of wands in a reading with some cards of the Major Arcana, it increases their power and influence. The Emperor, Strength, Temperance, The Tower, and The Sun.
