Ace of Wands

Ace of Wands — Minor Arcana, from The 1909 London Deck.

Upright

a spark, new energy, the impulse to start

An idea with real heat in it. Act on this while it is still hot — the card is about the impulse, not the plan.

In a yes or no reading, Ace of Wands upright answers yes.

Reversed

a false start, delay, the spark not catching

The enthusiasm is there and nothing has caught yet. Either the timing is off or the idea needs more than enthusiasm.

In a yes or no reading, Ace of Wands reversed answers maybe — the situation has not settled.

What this card does in a reading here

A reading draws one card and answers the question you asked with it. Ace of Wands can come up either way up — reversals are on in this deck, because the 1909 original was drawn with them in mind — and the two readings above are the starting point, not the answer. The answer depends on what you asked.
