Five of Wands

Different energies in one place.

  • Friction
  • Competition
  • Different views

What the card shows

Five figures wave wands in a lively scuffle. The card points to disagreement or competition that can be tiring, or energising when it sharpens ideas.

When opinions compete, look for the useful part of the disagreement before trying to win it.

The suit of Wands

Wands belong to fire. They speak of energy, desire, creative spark and the will to act. Wands cards ask what you want to move towards and how you use your enthusiasm.
