Ace of Wands

UPRIGHT

A hand reaches out of a cloud holding a sprouting wand, fresh leaves still falling from it. The Ace of Wands is the spark — the first ignition of will, the creative impulse before any of it has been shaped. It is the moment a project, passion, or venture announces itself with a brightness the querent cannot yet name.

REVERSED

Reversed, the Ace of Wands is the spark that fails to catch — inspiration sputtering, a beginning delayed, energy gathered with no clear place to land. The card can also name an impulse acted on too quickly, the wand grabbed before the leaves had finished sprouting.
