Three of Wands
Welcome to season 6 of this podcast where I am talking all about the Suit of Wands.
I’ll be going through each card in the suit, one per episode.
What we explore in this episode:
How the Three of Wands shows up visually in multiple decks
Symbolism of fire, light, flowers, and shadows in connection to creativity
Astrological ties to the Sun in Aries and the second decan
Reflections on ambition, discomfort, and leaving behind what is known
Three of Wands

In today’s episode, we are exploring the Three of Wands, a card that speaks to vision, creative readiness, and the sacred pause before movement. This is the moment after the spark has been lit but before the journey unfolds. It asks us to check in with our dreams and our direction, and to trust in the energy we’ve already set in motion.
Whether you're in the early stages of building something meaningful or feeling stuck in a liminal in-between, the Three of Wands invites you to reflect, refine, and ready yourself for what's next.
If you haven't listened to my other seasons yet, go check them out!
The first season, I introduced tarot through talking about oracle vs tarot cards, myths of tarot, how to find a deck, reading for yourself vs others, and much more.
In seasons 2 and 3, I went through the major arcana and the four suits, one per episode.
In season 4, I talked all about Tarot in Pop Culture and examined representations of Tarot in videogames, TV shows, movies, and more.
In season 5, I went through 13 Common Tarot Spreads, what they are, how many cards, and an example of what it looks like to work through one.
Today's Tarot Pull:
I pulled the Page of Wands (or as it’s called in the Desert Illuminations Tarot, the Page of Chilies!) and honestly, it couldn’t have been a more aligned message to close out this episode. The card reminds us: We don’t have to do it all alone. Sometimes a new path calls for a guide, a mentor, or even just a supportive presence to help shape the direction of that energy.
