Radiant-Rider-Waite-Smith-Three of Wands
B.O.T.A. Tarot- 3 of Wands
The Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot- Three of Wands- depicts a stately and calm looking gentleman, looking outward towards the sea, at his own ships sailing away in commerce. He is holding and slightly leaning on one saff/wand in his right hand while the other 2 are planted in the ground behind him, forming a triangular enclosure. Therefore, he seems to be symbolizing established strength. As always in the Rider-Waite-Smith deck, the wands are sprouting leaves, indicating they are fertile, fecund, and creative power.
The B.O.T.A. Tarot- 3 of Wands, is very minimalistic, as is common practice with the Small Cards (Pips or Minor Arcana). The Wands are red and gold, symbolizing the universal element of Fire. This element is the "Spirit" in all things and/or the motion within the movement of everything. Hence, we have polarities shown here, as the white diamond shape on one end of the wand and the black diamond shape on the other end. Energy must have a point A and a point B to flow to, for it to animate an object. Since all "things", must have a measurement to exist in form, this energy can flow from the "Above to the Enclosure Below" and/or from light to dark, male to female, positive to negative etc..
Even though the Builders of The Adytum small cards, are simplistic as they prefer to teach the aspirant in their lodge, or through correspondence, the hidden meanings. The Triangle pattern of the 3 of Wands, forms a plane, a foundation for all forms. Here, the foundation is "Above all things, be true to thine own self". With that strong foundation one can build a satisfying and powerful life.
When the Three/3 of wands is thrown in a divination, it implies:
- Enterprise.
- Discovery.
- Effort.
- Trade.
- Established strength.
- Commerce.
When Reversed:
- The end of troubles.
- Suspension or cessation of adversity.
- Disappointment.
- Toil.
