8 Wands

And so the Warrior who has hurtled himself off the ramparts and into his challenges needs to act quickly.  Here in the Druidcraft's 8 of Wands we see that speed taking shape.




A young man stands on a hill, the sea glittering in the distance.  Before him, 7 Wands are jammed into the ground and he takes the 8th and throws it with all of his might.

This is the Wand, not as weapon, but as javelin - whistling through the air and coming to rest....where? Somewhere far below!  Imagine the people's reactions to the arrival of his Wand!

This is the core of the 8 of Wands - something flies at speed - could it be a message? News of some kind?

As it hits the ground, its journey is complete - the task is done - the thrower has accomplished his goal. You might find, when this card arises in a reading, that something is now reaching its natural conclusion.

The news or message might be expected or - like the javelin - an unexpected surprise.

The 8 of Wands asks:

What has carved its arc across your sky and is now coming to rest?
Be alert for news - especially good news.
What's unfolding quickly in your life?
