Ace of Wands
Today is the perfect day to think about re-inventing yourself — courtesy of the spark of passion, inspiration and creative potential that is associated with the Ace of Wands.
The Ace of Wands — like all Aces — represents the pure unadulterated essence of its native element: in this case Fire. It’s a very dynamic and transformative energy that can be shaped and fashioned at will. The possibilities are as endless as your imagination — or your wildest dreams.
This version of the card is loaded in referential symbolism, with representations of fertility, creativity, inspiration, passion, expansion and growth.
The wand itself is part of a tree, with roots stretching deep into the earth and branches reaching high into the sky. A rainbow spans the sky behind it, illuminating the tiny buds that are just starting to bloom.
In the center of the card a butterfly unfurls its wings and raises it’s antennae toward the sky. The wings seamlessly separate the two halves of the card, separating day from night, dark from light, conscious from unconscious. The flame flickering behind it creates a glowing halo, which I also felt was reminiscent of a woman lifting her arms to the heavens in gratitude.
Take some time to fully explore your “wildest dreams” today. While you wouldn’t be expected (or encouraged) to throw caution completely to the wind, this is a good time to plant a few seeds. This is the purest “law of attraction” or “power of intention” card there is, so you might as well reach for the stars!
The card used for today’s tarotscope is part of a Tarot Mandala series by the gifted Irish painter Kate Bedell. This is the genesis of the work-in-progress labor-of-love Eternal Cycles Tarot which she is developing now. Used by generous permission.
More of Kate’s beautiful work can be seen on her Tarot and Mandala Art blog and her Kate Bedell Watercolours blog. Many of her images (including this Ace of Wands mandala image) are also available through Fine Art America.
