Ace of Wands

Hello hello, my darlings! Today we start in with Wands. First and foremost, as a suit, Wands are associated with the element of Fire, and represent spirituality, inspiration, creativity, ambition, and strength. Think along the lines of passion, enthusiasm, and sexuality. If a reading is mostly wands, you can be sure that you’re seeking greater purpose or meaning in your life, wanting to understand more about what energizes and motivates you. Wands are about aligning with your Higher Authentic Self. So let’s dive in, shall we?

Like all other aces, the Ace of Wands represents a new beginning or opportunity, a moment charged with potential. Being part of the Wands suit, it brings the elements of expansion and growth. Upright, this card is a firm yes to start the project you’re considering. Follow your instincts and listen to your gut. Now is the time to act, rather than plan. The potential is there, and it is up to you to turn that potential into results. Use this opportunity to grow on a personal or spiritual level where you can follow your creative spirit.

The reversal denotes a sense of restlessness. Your energy is raring to go, but you have so many ideas surfacing, that you’re unsure which direction to go. When you think about what other opportunities there are, you struggle to know what you want. Define where your true passion lies. There’s no point in working towards a goal that doesn’t motivate you. What do you aspire to? Your energy may also be restless in a frustrated way if you are facing delays that slow the progress of a project that’s already underway. The key here is: Not now, but maybe later. Be patient, and wait for the opportune moment to move forward. Proper timing is essential for positive results.

This ace is one of the few cards in the tarot deck that gives a clear “go for it” or “hold your horses” response. I’ve always suggested asking questions of your tarot cards that start with “how” or “what” to get the clearest response. Yes or no questions such as “will I get this job?” or “is this person going to fall for me?” tend to get muddy unclear responses, but if you get the Ace of Wands, now you’ll have a clearer idea of what to expect, my darlings! Stay witchy, stay magical, and I’ll see you next week.
