ace of wandsThe Ace of Wands — The Minor Arcana

The Ace of Wands is related to the Minor Arcana and represents the seeker’s choices and actions throughout the realization of his or her destiny.

The Wands represent the spark plugs of the Tarot and the spark of creativity and the birth of an idea.

The Wand Archetypes are oriented toward action, growth and the realization of dreams.

These archetypes are associated with new courses that will further the development of careers, new ventures, and creativity driven by a desire to move forward with no fear of making changes.

The Wands are also connected to the burning furnace of passion and sexuality within that seeks and desires to be loved.

The Aces are the “Controlling Cards” in my deck. The Ace of Wands controls your path and represents where you are headed, into a new beginning.

This card indicates a seed of action that is growing, and there are unformulated changes that you want to make to jump-start this new beginning. This is the time when you will feel like someone lit your action torch and gave you a thumbs up!

Tarot Boot Camp ~ The Emperor

tbcps-rw-EmperorThe Emperor — The Major Arcana

The word Arcana comes from the Latin word Arcanum, which represents a sacred secret or mystery that one must discover. The Emperor is related to the Major Arcana and signifies major life lessons you’ll learn on this path, that of assuming command of your life.

The secret paths of the Major Arcana represent the journey of the Fool, in which the Fool learns new lessons with every step of the way and overcomes obstacles and gains wisdom from lessons learned!

The Emperor — The Father

The Emperor represents the path of power, obedience and control and is the father and builder of structures and assumes command of his life, environment, body, temperament, instincts and affairs of his heart.

“I am ruled by the zodiac sign of Aries. I am a leader and not a follower. I am a mover and a shaker, fearless and forging ahead. I am direct and do not have a hidden agenda.”

As monarch, I can either be demanding or charismatic, and I might be the right person that you need to motivate you and impel you to realize your potential! I wear boots made of armor, and I will trample you underfoot should you attempt to betray me!”
