Ace of Wands (Tarot card)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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]
