Changing the Wands

The Phantasmagoria Tarot

I'm having a dilemma. I want to use fire dancers now but my brain is also saying I had some good options before. What do you think best represents the wands? Traditional sticks and paint brushes, or fire wands?

Suit of Wands

The Wands are the fire that animates the unseen. They represent creation, passion, energy, and the will to bring a vision into reality. In the world of the Phantasmagoria, they are the sparks that light the stage — the Dreamer’s breath of life given to art, idea, and impulse. Each card speaks to the movement from inspiration to manifestation, from the flicker of desire to the blazing act of creation.

Ace of Wands

 A fresh flame of passion ignites. You throw yourself into a new project with renewed excitement. You are ablaze with potential.

Two of Wands

 You need to take care to channel your energy in the right direction. You don’t want your flame to burn out so you need to be deliberate in your planning. 

Three of Wands

 After the choice is made you're ready to ignite to fire. You foresee the possibilities of the future. You’re sending out your energy into the universe and anticipating your labor will bear fruits. 

Four of Wands

 It’s time to celebrate your success! You’re in it for the long run and are only passing through the first phase of many. For the time being, relish in your bounty.

Five of Wands

 The next challenge is on the horizon. You need to transform conflicts into a spark that reenergizes your passion.

Six of Wands

 You get a taste of success. Your supporters gift you their energy and you in turn, give them your imagination. This is once again just a momentary success but enjoy it to the fullest until the next challenge arises. 

Seven of Wands

 Stand your ground regardless of the lack of support. You will come out on top.

Eight of Wands

 Keep moving forward and with a quickness in your step. Focus on the task at hand and don’t get distracted. 

Nine of Wands

 You are in transition to come up against the ‘final boss’ so-to-speak. Reserve your strength until you know its time to let it burn. 

Ten of Wands

 You have won the final battle but now you feel you carry the burdens of the world on your back. You could go the road alone or find a way to delegate it. Is there a way to warm the fire again?
