Okay, so I’ve been digging into tarot cards lately, trying to understand the meanings and how they might relate to, you know, real life. Today, I decided to focus on the Ace of Wands, specifically how it represents feelings. I wasn’t sure where to start, so I did what anyone would do -I looked for it. I learned that “Ace of Wands is about what makes you tick, The Ace of Wands is all about that initial spark of passion and excitement.”
I grabbed my own deck and pulled out the Ace of Wands. I just stared at it for a while, taking in the image. It’s, like, this hand coming out of a cloud, holding a blooming wand. Pretty straightforward, I guess.
My Little Experiment
First, I tried to think of a time I felt that “Ace of Wands” kind of energy. It took a bit, but then I remembered starting my own little online shop last year. It was just a small thing, selling handmade crafts, but I was SO pumped about it. That feeling of a fresh start, full of potential… yeah, that seemed to fit.

I wrote down all the words that came to mind when I thought about that feeling:
- Excitement
- Motivation
- Inspiration
- Creativity
- New beginnings
Then, I tried something a bit different. I closed my eyes and imagined myself holding the Ace of Wands. I focused on the feeling of the wood in my hand, the energy buzzing from it. I know, it sounds a bit woo-woo, but I wanted to really feel it.
What I got was this sense of… readiness. Like, I was about to jump into something new and exciting, and I had all the energy I needed to do it. It wasn’t just a passive feeling, it was an active one. Like, “Let’s GO!”
I realized that the keywords are great.
The key is to use your own life and memory to find it, and I did it!

So, my takeaway from this little Ace of Wands exercise? It’s about those moments when you feel a surge of passion and inspiration, that feeling that you’re on the verge of something amazing. It’s not just about ideas, it’s about the energy to actually do something with them. Pretty cool, right?
