Tarot Card of the Week: Four of Wands

Four of Wands

Tarot Card of the Week: Sept 12-Sept 18, 2016

Four of Wands

This week’s card is the Four of Wands from the Fairy Tale Tarot deck;  here we see Jack descending the famous beanstalk.  The beanstalk symbolizes success, upward mobility, growth and inspiration and Jack (clad in purple, the colour of wealth and gutsiness) is heading back down, carrying his bag of goodies.

The lady bug perched on the leaf symbolizes luck and success and the many tendrils and glowing wands signify that many other fortunate paths and opportunities lay ahead.  The crow, however, also warns Jack that he has to take a rest and enjoy his hard earned loot from the land of giants.

Four of Wands: a sense of homecoming

This card is all about that magical sense of, “WHEW! I made it”  a sense of homecoming.  One of the most positive cards in the traditional tarot, the four of wands indicates stability, harmony peace and prosperity.  The work has been done and you can take a deep breath and enjoy the celebration of your life.  Be proud of what you have accomplished , and allow that feeling of peace and satisfaction to settle in your heart as you get home from your own beanstalk adventure this week.
