The Tarot of Eli 2, LLC: Rider-Waite-Smith-Knight of wands & The of Sacred Kingdoms- Knight of Wands.

#tarottraditionalqabalahelitarot2strikingly.com

The Rider-Waite Knight of Wands is a devoted to the traditional. In more modern Tarot, the Knight is the Prince on Thoth Tarot and other more esoteric tarot decks.

The Rider-Waite-Smith Knight wears a tunic of yellow and embroidered with black salamanders, and the fiery plume like helmet decoration along with the inner red of the garment, suggest fire which is this card's element. His wand is the leafing, and therefore, a fertile, phallic staff that is relative to the medieval Tarot decks. His fiery steed is moving in an aggressive manner giving us an implication of his motive power. He is in the Egyptian desert, as 3 pyramid structures show in the desert background. This implies hermitage, and/or arising from the abyss, as if transformed. Here is a suggestion of the Phoenix who has risen out of the ashes of his "shadow side".

When thrown during Divination, the Knights/Princes often represent the coming and going of an event or person.

The Tarot of Sacred Kingdoms- Knight of Wands represents passion, energy, and movement. This card implies it is time to take a passionate step towards your dreams as you now have the energy to go beyond your fear of taking risks of any kind. Explore the unknown territory, for it will serve you. There is a "fire in the belly" driving you towards achievement.

The Lion in the image of the Knight of Wands reminds you that you are fierce, a fiery spirit who can overcome any obstacle or challenge with bravery and courage.

This card also states that you are not alone. There is a person in your life who is vibrant and full of energy. Now this may be your own "Holy Gaurdian Angel" whose celestial fire burns within you or impulsive person who is quick to take action. However, they are passionate and dedicated to you and their goals.

This Knight (Prince of Wands on the Tarot birth wheel) is a spontaneously aggressive persona of immature masculine sexuality, prone to spontaneous action without thinking things through. Much like a lion, s/he charges into the fray not really understanding why. Although s/he may be quick to anger, this one is also a loyal friend who will give the "shirt off of their back".

Nevertheless, The Knight/Prince of Wands is a thoughtful, considerate young person, who finds it difficult to make cautious decisions.; Hence, often acts before s/he thinks. The Knight/Prince of Wands loves to be loved, and therefore, can be very fickle in search of it.

Being tied down to anything or anyone violates this knight's sense of independence, but s/he also hates to be alone and enjoys being surrounded by many different people who often find the Knight/Prince to be affectionate, outgoing, and friendly. Therefore, the Knight/Prince of Wands is not an emotionally secure person and in a tough situation may become pathologically dependent upon another person. Let's just say s/he is a bright intelligent youth, who would rather play than "knuckle down" to study or academia. S/he tends to be a daydreamer, a romantic, who is off in a fantasy world of one's own making. This is a young person who can create vibrations that will call for sudden decisions or changes in life.

When thrown during Divination, the Knights/Princes often represent the coming and going of an event or person.

The Knight of Wands/Prince of Wands card describes a Personality that is:

• Swiftness and Strength are the primary moral qualities of this personality.
• Impulsive, often easily directed by outside influences, even trifling ones, this one can be prey to indecision.
• The prince's/Knight's opinions are often violently expressed but being emphatic does not mean he'll hold the opinion long. He just loves vigorous statements, enjoying the feeling of the vigorous flow.
• The truth being, he is often slow to make up his mind, and is just and sees both sides of a question.
• Having a noble and generous character causes him to lean towards expressing extravagant hyperbole while secretly laughing at the boast and himself for making it.
• Being fanatical courage linked with indefatigable endurance in both life and sexual activity, he chooses to fight against the odds and always wins in the exceptionally long run.
• The Passion radiating off this person frightens most people because of the mystery it presents. He is of Dragon, and thus he strikes terror in the heart of the less inclined.
•  His generosity and deeds may be impeccable, but the heat of his passion scares the pale soul who avoids the Sun.
• His immense pride, which is his main fault, makes him hold in contempt, meanness and pettiness and he is adept at wielding every weapon of ridicule, while still giving the shirt off his back to the one so scorned.
• Without lust for result, s/he loves work and exercise for its own sake.
• Paradoxical is his/her contempt for the world at large, while holding ecstatic respect for every individual man and woman.
• The Mystery of such a one who is a living, Sun; this Sun Warrior is an aspect of the Solar Logos that puts ideas into action and will fight for their survival and resides at the core heart of us all!
• There is a sense of Romantic Revolution with this one. Most people enjoy this knight's passionate demeanor, but woe to the person that focuses his/her wrath.
• Because of this Swift and agile personality, many of his acquaintances are not committed to him as friends, for his swift mystery baffles most of them as he is all that is unexpected, startling, unpredictable, unconventional, but having a deep underlying consistency.
• As far as events:
• Departure.
• Absence.
• Flight.
• Emigration.
• Change of residence.

If reversed, it implies:

• Unrest.
• Impulsiveness.
• Destructiveness.
