Ace of Wands

As with all "Aces", the Ace of Wands represents, a fresh start, new beginning, fresh opportunity, and positive creative force.
Aces in general herald new beginnings and opportunities.

The Ace of Wands is a relatively simple card, with a simple message. (Most decks depict just a single bright wand or other symbol - as opposed to the extremely rich complicated imagery on other cards.)
The theme of this card is budding inspiration.
(In some decks the wand illustrated on the card is literally budding !)

The Ace of Wands proclaims that now is the time to give more energy to the things that matter in our lives - be they relationships, work, business, or projects of any type..

 

Keywords summarising the possible meanings of this card include:

  • Adventure
  • Birth / Beginning
  • Energy for Growth
  • Enthusiasm (especially for new projects)
  • Fertility, Virility, Life Force
  • Inheritance.

Remember that all of the Wands cards in the Tarot Deck have some energies in common. These include, for example, the overall association of the suit of Wands with personal growth and the expression of personal spirit through our work, intellect, or creativity. For further information, also read about the Suit of Wands in general.

Some texts include meanings for "reversed cards", which apply when the cards are shuffled in both order and orientation. This doubles the number of possible "cards" in the deck from 78 to 156. (In terms of the probabilities of obtaining results by chance alone, it is not a simple doubling as once a card has been drawn it cannot be selected again in the opposite orientation in the same reading.)
