THE KNIGHT OF WANDS

Esoteric Title: Lord of the Flame and Lightening
Elemental Attributions: Air (hot, moist) of Fire (hot, dry)

   Your ally, full of strength and vitality, reins in a rampant steed. The plume on his helmet and even the horse’s mane resemble tongues of flame. Resilient and adventurous, like the Fool, your ally values experience and loves to follow his spiritual impulses. He has the qualities of the two most active elements, Air of Fire, which suggests that he is both intelligent and passionate. In his explorations, he has wandered into a desert with pyramids, suggesting that he is close to completing his quest for knowledge associated with the mysteries. Dynamic and enthusiastic, he is not afraid to explore unchartered territory, but he sometimes finds that he might not be directing his energy in the most productive ways. Like his horse, his mind is energetic and swift but sometimes his impulses are a little difficult to control. Only a few of the salamanders associated with his element are biting their own tail, suggesting that he has not yet achieved spiritual maturity. The life-force thrills through him at every level and propels him forward, but he lacks the sense of spiritual attainment and maturity of the King and Queen. His strong mind enables him to focus intensely, but this ability occasionally leads him to spend too much time in the intellect, which can lead to a kind of spiritual dryness. However, he feels the joy of adventure and shows great determination to complete his quest.

Reversed: angry, cruel, reckless, unfocused, impulsive
