ThePage of Wands (or jack or knave of wands or batons) is a card used in Latin-suited playing cards which includetarot decks. It is part of whattarot card readers call theMinor Arcana.
Tarot cards are used throughout much ofEurope to playtarot card games.[1] In English-speaking countries, where the games are largely unknown, tarot cards came to be utilized primarily fordivinatory purposes.[1][2]
"The page lives where the wand, or the flame, is larger than the person. The drive is larger than life's experiences. The thirst for action and the yearning for progress has put you squarely in front of the task so that you can grow beyond your limit." (Evelin Burger)
The key meanings of the Page of Wands:[3]
When comparing what a person wants to "move" and what is "moving" them, experiences become less important. That is the danger, and yet it is also a chance. Don't "lose" yourself and don't lose your chance. When this card appears, it's time for a new beginning that will bring someone to the point where they discover the true power and energy of their own fire and personal power.
Upon being born a person is filled with drives, will power and desire. This is the perfect time to re-discover life, playfully conquering and greeting success and defeat, all events and experience with great enthusiasm.[4]
This card is also considered the 'messenger' card. When it is in a spread, it is highly likely that you will receive important news.
