Okay well I wanted to start with the elements you guys and work our way thorugh the minor arcana with wands/cups/swords/pentacles.. we will start with wands- Take out all minor arcana wands in your deck ,cut and shuffle than choose one minor arcana wand card and meditate on it, try to describe not so much the cards meaning but the wands meaning, and how you view wands from your inner self.. list your feelings thoughts of wands to you and we will elaborate further on the meanings.

yay! okay I drew the Four Of Wands and in this picture the wands are surrounding a couple and their child, they are peacefully playing or having a good time together.. by the wands standing upright in this card shows me that they symbolize what I have built for myself and to enjoy myself..This card is also about new foundations perhaps the wands meaning the strong walls of my relationship or home..I see the wands as protection in this card as well. A lovely card where the wands seem to say to me, enjoy what you have earned, a time for celebration,love,harmony,even marraige...

Knave Wands.jpg: I chose Knave of Wands. I see him as protected by his armour.Wands are earthy to me. to do with earth bound enterprises rather than movement on the spiritual front.My knave is holding his own and is grounded. Looking into to the sky to me symbolising the sky is the limit. He is holding onto the stem rather firmly as he has a grip on the situation. The mountains in the background are saying this is where he has come from. This card i feel as though it is saying Stop, he seems snap frozen and is posing for this picture.The yellowy hue is indicating the sunshine to me and is representing happiness. Fulfilled hopes and dreams. He is planting his roots and building his future. a card of fullfillment. Dancing Bear

oo nice card there dancing bear! is this the page of wands in the original decks? good job on the interpretations as well. I see wands as highly spritual as well and perhaps they are a mix between the earthly realm and the spritual..perhaps they can indicate our spritual selves and spritual paths. I see in this card a person who is inspired..I see wands as inspiration too, and highly creative people.

I drew the ace of wands I see wands in general as representing the element of fire and spirituality. With that I interpret the wands to deal with passion, inspiration, determination and willpower. I see aces as representing new beginings and/or ideas. So I view this wand as starting a spark in my creativity, thoughts or actions. The wand is rested between two hands which leaves me with the impression that this wand receives it's power from the querent (me). This wand seems to be "in the limelight" all focus is on the wand, it is number 1. Almost as if the wand is praised and is on a pedestal of some sort.

I chose the 6 of Wands. In this deck, wands represent fire and as Anise had mentioned spirituality--spiritual challenges in particular. I think this card is saying to spiritually release yourself. To let go of anything that is holding you back.

great cards both of you anise and andin.. good interpretations as well. Andin, I see in your card that the person is being praised or recognized for their efforts or gaining some type of acknowledgement, I see this card as a big acheivement..maybe you will pass the test in school! and anise I see that this card is telling you that you have the will to make your visions come true/manifest, you just have to take the first step! I see the ace of wands as The New life card, and it actualy means that because once we change one thing in our lives the rest follows quickly in all areas.

What do mean by your post Lilacsky? I am confusing myself here, do you want to wind it up on the wands or do one more wand reading for ourselves. Dancing Bear
