Two of Wands

Be My Mannequin? Pose Store posted a photo:

“The Two of Wands is a more mature version of the ace of wands, meaning that that this tarot card is all about planning and moving forward – progression. Look at it this way; you have already set out to achieve a particular task, which means you have turned an idea into a realistic plan. Such a plan will require fulfillment and therefore you have to progress from just having the plan to actually achieving what you set out for.

In summary, the Two of Wands meaning revolves around making decisions. In other words, you are either satisfied with your current knowledge, or you are moving forward and taking risks. It means, leaving our comfort zones and exploring new territory.”

I’d been honestly wanting to start creating my own tarot deck designs for about 3 years now but every time I’d get that urge and drive to do it… I’d step back and say, “No, too intimidating… I can’t do it.” Every time. Until the other day, that is. I was setting up for this picture, not sure what I was doing or where this was going until I was in final position and I realized… this was pretty much the Two of Wands card. So this was where I needed to make my decision. Do I stop and step back? Or do I keep going? Keep pushing forward and commit to this with no regrets and no looking back? I felt it was kind of… ironic that this would happen with the Two of Wands card laid out before me. It was only a few moments of hesitation before I took a deep breath and snapped the shot. And so, it has begun and you know what? I really am happy that this is the one to kick off the whole set.

I know the lantern posts aren’t ‘wands’ or ‘staves’ but, to be honest? I knew I wanted them to be my wands since the day they came out from Oblivis Solem (great creator, btw! My halo behind me is also from there). And besides? How many tarot decks do you see that deviate from the ‘norm’? I have at least 2 decks of my own that don’t (one is a cute cat tarot deck where the wands are actually cat’s claws).
