Okay, here’s my take on sharing my experience with the “ace of wands feelings” spread, blog-style.
Alright folks, gather ’round! Today I’m spilling the tea on a tarot spread I messed around with recently: the Ace of Wands feelings exploration. Honestly, I was feeling kinda stuck creatively, ya know? Like staring at a blank canvas and not having a clue what to paint.
So, first things first, I grabbed my trusty deck (the Rider-Waite, classic for a reason). I took a few deep breaths, trying to clear my head of all the daily garbage – bills, work drama, you name it. Gotta get in the right headspace, right?

Then, I shuffled. And I shuffled. And I shuffled some more. I’m talking serious shuffling, until it felt…right. No fancy overhand stuff, just a good old riffle shuffle. When it felt good, I stopped. Cut the deck into three piles, stacked ’em back up, and fanned out the cards.
Now, for the spread. I basically just pulled one card, thinking, “Show me the raw, untapped energy surrounding this situation.”
Bam! The Ace of Wands. Right there, staring back at me.
Okay, so here’s where it gets interesting. My initial reaction was kinda “meh.” Another Wand? But then I really looked at the card. The hand bursting forth, the leaves sprouting… it’s all about potential, right? New beginnings? I had to dig deeper.
I started by just free-writing in my journal. I asked myself, “What feels like a spark right now?” “What am I excited about, even just a little?” At first, nothing concrete came to mind, but then I started brainstorming random ideas. Maybe I could try that online art class? Maybe I could finally start writing that blog post I’ve been putting off? Maybe I could just clean out my closet and get rid of all the stuff that’s been weighing me down!

And then it hit me. I’d been so focused on big, grand projects that I’d forgotten about the little things. The Ace of Wands wasn’t telling me to build a skyscraper, it was telling me to plant a seed.
So, what did I DO? Well, I decided to go small. I signed up for a free trial of a language learning app. It was something I’d been thinking about for ages, but always put off because I thought I didn’t have time. But even just 15 minutes a day felt…energizing.
The real kicker? As I was messing around with the app, I got an idea for a short story. A totally random, out-of-the-blue idea that I probably wouldn’t have had if I hadn’t taken that tiny first step.
The takeaway? Don’t overthink it! The Ace of Wands is about raw potential, not fully formed plans. Embrace the spark, even if you don’t know where it’s going to lead.
My advice? Next time you’re feeling stuck, pull an Ace of Wands card (or any card that resonates with you) and ask yourself:

- What small step can I take today?
- What am I curious about?
- What makes me feel even a tiny bit excited?
Just go for it! You might be surprised at what you discover.
