Ten of Wands

Too much to carry.

  • Burden
  • Responsibility
  • Delegation

What the card shows

A figure carries ten wands, bent under the load. The card invites a look at what you are carrying and what could be put down or shared.

Look at the load rather than asking yourself to carry it better indefinitely.

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.
