Ace of Wands (Tarot card)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ace of Wands from the Rider-Waite Tarot deck
The Ace of Wands is Tarot card of the Minor Arcana. Tarot cards are used throughout much of Europe to play Tarot card games[1] in which the cards are similar to the playing cards more common in English-speaking countries. In these regions, where Tarot games are largely unknown, the cards have come to be used primarily for divinatory purposes[1][2]. Modern Tarot readers interpret the Ace of Wands as a symbol of optimism and invention.[3].
[edit] Divination Usage
Relating to invention and career opportunities. The ace is optimistic, and suggests the availability of abundant energy needed to achieve ambitions.[citation needed]
