Shadowscapes Tarot

THREE of WANDS

This is the bridge that stretches to the edge of the world. Its lower steps beckon for the brave and the curious to step up and begin that trek. It arcs our across the sky... but then it goes no further. She stands there upon the edge and wonders where to go from here. The sun dazzles the eyes from above and shines in a shimmering ribbon of light along the river that etches out the canyon so far below. There is a crystalline, timeless quality to the air this high up. It is charged with static that sparks like all the potential she knows is waiting for her here and waiting inside her. Each breath chills and exhilarates.

She sees the wands of those who have come this far before her, and perhaps from here they turned back, daunted by what the next step may be. She pauses a moment, does not look down, and then steps forward into what seems to be empty space. She feels sturdy rock and shale materialize under her feet. She realizes then that this entire bridge has been built by the steps and the dreams of others. She takes a breath and then begins to make her own strides - she takes the next step, and the next, and the bridge begins to grow beneath her feet.

The Three of Wands invites you to explore, seek out the uncharted, expand your horizons. Take a long view of situations, and express leadership.
