Radiant: Rider-Waite-Smith-Tarot, King of Wands

B.O.T.A. Tarot-King of Wands

The Rider-Waite-Smith- King of Wands, projects the image of a passive King who is siting upon a throne holding a leaf sprouting, thereby, fertile wand. The sprouting leaves, depict vital life/sex force that is attributed to Wands. The little salamander at his feet, the salamanders on his cape and the red gold color of his remnants, are the only implication of his rule over fire. The blue cloth around his neck and shoulders, is the color of the Blue Sophia, Greek Goddess of Wisdom. Wisdom being the name of Chokmah the second Sephiroth that rules over the Kings.

The Rider-Waite-Smith King of Wands is attributed the physical and emotional nature of dark, ardent, lithe, animated and impassioned noble. He connects with the symbol for Leo the Lion that exists as his thrones backing. The symbol of the Golden/yellow sun is also worn around his neck.

B.O.T.A. Tarot-King of Wands

The B.OT.A. Tarot-King of Wands, is shown facing the querent and lacks all the yellows of the Sun. Here, the Fiery Red of the Wands (Mars/Aries) is concentrated on. The ancient symbol for the Pythagorean element of fire, are the black salamanders decorating the tapestry and on his outer robe. The White ermine color of his outer robe was common to Medieval European Royalty. The Golden crown on his head, implies his authority and the sun. While the wand in his hand, is the red/gold color of fire, with a pure white crystal on one end, signifying the "above" and the Dark crystal end, signifying the "below". Implying his power is from the Divine.

WHEN KING OF WANDS IS THROWN DURING A READING, it implies;

  • A spiritual evolution is taking place at a deep core level. It is as if the past personality is fuel for a new phoenix- self arising from the flames
  • Experiencing the conviction of Spirit with much inner and outward movement of energy; the manifestation of leadership skills.
  • Positive male power, complete with the ability to focus on long term goals but with rapid movement that is able to handle complex situations.
  • Strong minded and able to dominate others by force of will.
  • A master of wit and charm, great sense of humor and warm generosity with a strong liking for fun. Can just about persuade anyone into anything.
  • A mature male whose inner and outer being are in mutual agreement and balance.

If ill defined by surrounding cards or reversed, it implies:

  • Very Impersonal force without the conscience of the personal.
  • May be a highly empowered spiritual being. Which doesn't necessarily mean he has your best interest at heart. Spirit is Pure Mind, and doesn't see things in a personal way.
  • Emotional coldness.
  • Too much emphasis on mind.
  • Dazzling ambiguity.
  • Fickle.
