VII · Minor Arcana · Wands
Seven of Wands
Wands is the suit of fire — drive, creativity, and the will to act.
Upright
defending your ground, conviction, holding the high place
One figure on high ground fends off six staves rising from below. You have something now that is worth defending, and defending it is tiring. Upright, this is the courage to keep your position under pressure — you have the advantage of height, so use it.
Reversed
overwhelmed, giving ground, defensiveness
Reversed, the defence is failing or was never necessary. You may be worn down by constant challenge, or fighting off criticism that was actually just information. Ask whether the hill is worth this, and whether everyone below is genuinely an opponent.
Every draw here is a real quantum draw — Seven of Wands is one of the 78 you might get, and a friend of your choosing reads it aloud.
