Hi!originally by HH:- Use this thread to discuss what the suit of Wands represents in a reading, perhaps focusing on a card or cards you are drawn to or have difficulty with
[/quote]In the deck I am learning with, the Mythic Tarot,* wands are represented by a retelling of the Greek myth of Jason
Jason assembled a crew of heroes, the Argonauts, and set sail for the ends of the Earth to find the sacred and powerful golden fleece in Colchis, meeting many trials and tribulations along the way
I find this entirely appropriate for this suit which, as Alison says, stands for creativity, initiative and enterprise
The myth of Jason is a great representation of what I feel is at the heart of this suit: [b]ambition realised in a quest[/b]
The card that particularly struck me was the 8
Here, Jason's ship, the Argo, is seen powering ahead in kind seas accompanied by playful dolphins
My initial contemplation of the card gave me [b]forging ahead, plain sailing, on the road to glory[/b]
As for the 9, which was the subject of earlier discussion, my deck depicts the Argo in rough seas with its crew battling to get through the perilous clashing rocks
To me, this represents the need to deploy those reserves of inner strength that we might not even know we have in order to overcome adversity
Is this close to the mark? *The Mythic Tarot J
