Today I drew…

Four of Wands

What I Read…

The ships have come in, and the Querent can sit back and enjoy them. This card, with its four wands holding up garlands, implies the foundation of a house, literally and figuratively. Whatever the Querent has been building, they have established it, strong and solid. They can take a moment to admire what they've done, enjoy the first rewards it has brought them, and bask in their initial success. Sometimes this card suggests marriage; once again, laying the foundation for the future.

What it showed me…

A time of plenty. Riches and celebrations, not only at the individual level but for the land, society, family as may be queried by the querent (in my case family). New beginnings (in my case back to ‘Goddess chat’ and ‘Tarot meditation’), and success in these new ventures. A time for cultural and literary growth; a time for indulgence, merrymaking.

The card talks of bounty, of a bumper harvest; plenty of food and a man and woman toasting a cup of freshly mulled mead. The crop and plenty has made many a farmer rich. A marriage is in the offing too. The wands are themselves decorated with flowering creepers quite like the Indian ritual called pandakkal which precedes the marriage ceremony itself. Music and dance in the air.

Good Luck Card
