The Symbolism of the Two of Wands Tarot Card
This card is represented by a man, probably either a nobleman or a very wealthy merchant, gazing out over his territory. There is a lake or ocean in the distance, so perhaps he is looking for his ships, returning from a voyage. Upon the wall where he stands rest two wands, and in his hand he holds a globe of the world.
The General Interpretation of the Two of Wands Card
When appearing in a spread, this card implies the need to apply the lessons of courage and daring, to channel them into something useful. This is generally taken to mean the beginning of a journey, or perhaps striking out on a new path in life.
This card also symbolizes the untapped power that each individual has. The globe in the palm of the merchant’s hand is this power. This card is a suggestion to use it, not simply hoard it. The power is right there, clasped in the palm of the hand. Now is the time to find the courage to put it to good use.
