Romantic Tarot - Wands

-

 Let us begin exploring Wands ..... 

FROM THE BOOK-

Wands-Paris, romantic and vivacious

Gallantry strides across the most  intriguing stages of Europe of the Belle  Epoque and the star is desire + fire and personality- The dominant colour is red. The superficiality of the amorous passion.

I will combine my own thoughts plus keyword  from the LWB ...  




Ace of Wands 

A cane leaning against a wall, a garter on the edge of the cane.  4 paintings of scenery on the lower part of the wall.. a red curtain to the left.   The Walking Stick - News ...

This card to me speaks of new beginnings, possibilities come from a breakthrough to the desires of passions. 

Two of Wands

Two men sharing a moment in front of a statue . Love at the opera Garnier. Ambition 

To me this speaks of giving something to another within this relationship ... feeling ambitious on some level.  Also to me speak of choices yet to be made on some level to bring balance to the relationship. 

Three of Wands

A woman being swooned over by three men .. She sits and holds a  big feather fan..   expectation 

I feel as though this is a moment to pause within the relationship, taking time to reflect and pause on what is and what could be. 

Four of Wands

Here we see a wedding has taken place and as they leave the church they are surrounded by friends and family. Walking underneath the arches... Celebration

Wedding taking place brings a contract, a connection between self and others. Celebration Taking place. 

Five of Wands

 We see a can can dance taking place .. a woman  talking to a man ...  behind his back he holds a flower bouquet. There appears there could be a sense of a conflict within this moment ...Conflict  

Six of Wands 

A Woman and a man share a boat as he rows she holds a bird cage .. a pier in the background , poles in the water. This speaks of a shift happening with the path taken. Communicate ... 

Seven of Wands 

A man and woman get off the train, the woman hugs another man in a blue suit .. The Man behind the woman watches... Trust  between them ...

Eight of Wands 

A woman pulls the curtains apart.. a man on the bed covers his eyes from the light .. Incense is lit ...  the man wears a blue ribbon upon his wrist. The woman wears lingerie  (Underwear) ... Dynamism ... Amorous Awakening...This card speaks of being full of energy, vitality, vigorous action taken. 

Nine of Wands 

A man and woman sit on a bench kissing , a child looks from beyond the fence ...  A peek at a hidden Kiss .. This card speaks of barriers between people . maybe seeing something they should not.  

Ten of Wands 

a  man and Woman stand at the top of the steps of the train station talking ..another man climbs up the stairs ..  Positive effort.. Guided in the right direction by your heart.  

Knave of Wands 

We see a man holding a bouquet of Flowers ... He walks past a lamp  . The lamp is a statue of naked woman .. A vision of beauty cast in stone..  This card speaks of Vision ..  Seeing what is possible ... 

Knight of Wands 

A man riding a horse , is the  a sense of hesitation or is the horse galloping ahead without focus? 

The gallant rider, help arrives when needed, do away with fears, make way for dreams-Voyage (travel ) 

The Queen of Wands 

She sits dressed in pink on a couch,, a top and a cane on the floor.. She is a lady filled with passion.  She uses her intuition in all she does... 

King  of Wands 

A man sits on his throne .. lanterns in front of him lit.. He smokes a cigar.. He is one who acts like he is in control of the situation. This cards peaks of control in all you do .. being in control  of this situation within the relationship. 

It has taken me awhile to work through this suit .... Am still looking deeper at the cards ... 

Three cards Spreads ... and in how they create a sentence together ... create some mini readings  ...  without waffling ...  .. 


Today's Message 
Knave of Wands, 7 of wands and 2 of wands 
Keywords include Vision, Trust and Ambition  
Today we reflect on what we desire n this moment, thinking about who we can trust  as we move ahead with ambition, passion, desire  to get what we want for our own vision, our dreams ...

As we look further  the cards could speak of  What are we wanting to give to another  during this time? What do we expect from those around us? It does feel as though we are giving discreetly to others .to achieve the results we desire.... .

Today's Mystikal Lenormand Layout

There are many ways to read this Spread.. Trust in how you choose to read it . This is one variation ...  Let us begin  by looking at the centre card 1) The Rider - News .. there is some news on it's way, what type of News, let's see what the other cards say, to modify the card related to the News ...  We look to the Left and we see Letter - so we know the news may be written .. To the right A Woman - is the written news from a woman or to the woman?    Above The Stars - maybe it is Spiritual  News on some level ...  Underneath - The Bear - Could be related to a Mother or are you the Mother... Is the news in regards to strength or protection on some level ?   Now let's look at the four corners-  The Scythe  With the Rider and the Road  So maybe it is important you let go of something so you can make a decision in regards to the news?   You have Key Rider and Clover ... T he News may be the key to some Good fortune .. ..  Let us look at the

How I Connect With The Cards...

-
The Way I Connect with the Cards, the messages as individuals for each person. Knowing that each person is so different from another... I understand that everyone is different, All Readers read differently. They may use tools or no  tools . They may use Cards, Runes, I-Ching, Tea-leaves, palms and crystals.. You may even find a reader that connects with jewelry. There are so many ways a reader will read for a client. Even card readers read differently from each other, Some use Tarot, Oracle, or even Lenormand Cards, Others will use playing cards, they use specifically for Readings. You may find some readers read the cards to set meanings and others use them as Gateways to connect with their Spirit Guide to receive individual messages.  There is no One Correct way. There are no blanket rules in regards to how a reader should read.  You may find some readers connect to the Angels and Archangels before and during the reading.  You may find  Tarot and other Card readings sim

Understanding the messages within A few of the Cards

-
Image
Let us begin with the notion that  the cards are ink and paper, created by artists who wish to share a story. The Story developed over time with characters, symbols, colours. Images that allow one to open up within themselves. These are cards that offer both positive and negative aspects of our life.  Each and every card holds both types of messages within them.  I know there are cards like XVI The Tower and XV The Devil  that people gasp at horror and expect negative messages,  X Swords, III Swords are also images that hold people in terror,,, and because of movies  XIII Death  people  think it means Death ....Literal death. In this post I am going to explain the positive messages of these cards.  Let us begin with XII Death... This card only speaks of Transformations, changes, a sense of purification, Spiritual and healing. Letting go of the negative aspects of life and moving into the light (so to speak) , Moving forward as you leave behind the past.   This can be a good

Why Do Readers Read Cards Differently?

-
Image
Each Deck is so Different .. There are many different Tarot decks designed by many different amazing individuals… Every deck is perfect in it’s own way… Some images speak louder than others, that is because we as readers are all very different, we are individuals that like and are drawn to different artwork… Also our thoughts processors are individualized.  Our perceptions are individualized.  No one sees the same image in the same card. Different colours, characters, symbols stand out for each of us. That is why you will find different Tarot readers deliver the same messages in a different way.  And sometimes it can take awhile to make sense of a reading.. We as Tarot Readers have to interpret what we see… With our experiences in life so different from each other we interpret things quite differently… I understand there are suggestions in how we read Tarot and there are basic keywords ,  trying to memorise what someone else sees can drive one crazy… I find what works for one re

Today's Reading I decided to use Mists of Avalon for some reflection and used a Five card spread from the Guide Book ... I shuffled and Laid out the cards in the spread.... 1) Present Situation - The Isle of Avalon 2) The Past- Igraine 3) The Future Cerridwen 4) Hidden Influences- Priestess of Avalon 5) Possible Outcome - Nimue  My Summary   comes from the Words that stood out from around the card... Each card has four words relating to it on the card itself.  We look at what is happening right now, as we sense a period of resting and renewal, a healing from within... In the past it was about the acceptance of what was, looking forward to what is possible with inspiration that brings transformation on many levels. It is possible It comes from Ancient Knowledge and Divine Inspiration that may influence you at this time, bringing new opportunities, a sense of confidence, which builds self-esteem and also a mutual respect.  When looking at these cards you may find mess
