KNIGHT of WANDS

THE KNIGHT OF wands indicates change and progression towards a goal. He is an individual full of daring and passion. His spirit is ablaze with the fire that the wands suit symbolizes, and like fire, the bright, brindled fur of his lion mount and his fox attendants flash through the woods as they dart in a flaming entourage through the trees. The wind runs rippling fingers through his hair and he laughs for the joy of that sensation and the power leashed in the muscles of the lion, bunching and stretching beneath him.

This knight is on a journey for adventure. Excitement flows along in his trail. He does nor necessarily seek it, but his presence invariably spurs rivalry and conflict, perhaps because of his cocky and assured attitude and self-confidence. Sometimes his aggressive nature can be seen as being overconfident, too impetuous.

He is a knight with a blazing lion's heart and the sparking cleverness of foxes, though not always the wisdom to match it. He recklessly rides crashing through the world, leaping from cliffs in heroic bounds towards his destination. Such a wondrously heroic sight to glimpse him as he passes! Destiny, faith, and the purity of his goal shine with an effervescent glow in his eyes. so that perhaps he does not notice the flowers he may trample along the path in his headlong plunge. Be wary of allowing the wild temper and flaming energy of this knight to cause discord and interruption.
