Suit of Wands
The suit of wands represents creativity, life force, ‘chi’ energy, and sometimes sexuality. The element associated with wands is fire, its season is summer and its direction is south. Wand cards have a lot of energy, and while this energy tends to burn bright and hot, it also burns quickly. This is why many wand cards speak of transient, short-lived situations. Being transient does not mean that what the cards speak of is not real. It suggests that – if desired – the energy must be contained decisively and transmuted into something that lasts.
