The Ace of Wands

The Symbol of Creative Energy.

Spider Lady
Fascinated, I ponder what "Fates" will bring. I draw another card card from "The Mythic Tarot." It is the "Ace of Wands."

They say that a picture is worth a thousand words...

On this card we meet Zeus who is the supreme among the gods and the beginner of all things. Zeus's has dominion of the sky and take us on a journey over the mountains to a new land. He heralds a journey to vision and imagination, and life is never the same afterwords. Zeus is the embodiment of creative power, symbolizing an expanding horizon. Zeus gives us the power to envision the future, we must trust this vision, even thought the new ideas have not formulated yet. A Verile symbol of strength is clad in regal purple.and a golden crown.. He has a touch in one hand and a globe or owl in the other. The wands are a symbol of fire and energy. Zeus is the thunderbolt that sparks all new beginnings.

On learntarot.com I learn that this card represents using your creative forces, and inventing a better way. It is a symbol that you are ready to expand your potential, and you are opening to greater possibilities. This is someone who is conceiving a dream and stimulation their imagination. This card indicates that as your creative talents unfold you will be able to come up with a solution. Some modern cards sometimes represents the wand or thunderbolt as a lute or a pencil, in either case indicates an outpouring of healing, and the air carries you on a new journey taking place. Gather up yellow and orange flowers and candles and meditate on the winter turning to spring. Power and creative energy will spring forward and darkness will retire.

I discover that I have second deck of Tarot: "Daughters of th Moon Tarot." but, I do not have a manual. This is a feminist deck, where the cards are all women. The one of flames depicts a jubilant African goddess in a radiant expression of ecstatic dance, and with light radiating all around her. There is no mistaking the light that emanates from creative expression and movement.

Then what appears on the bookshelf is "Tarot Made Easy" by Nancy Garen. Garen state the season for this card is Autumn: September-October-November. She states the Ace of Wands represents the number one, new beginnings and the start of new ventures. It states that you will be writing a bock and receive money for artistic, and creative adventures. Your success will come through innovated ideas.

The Ace of Wands clearly indicates being on fire and radiating with new creative movement.
