Radiant-Rider-Waite-Smith-Three of Wands

The Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot (RWS tarot)- 3 of Wands- depicts a stately and calm looking gentleman, looking outward towards the sea, at his own ships sailing away in a commercial adventure. He is holding and slightly leaning on one staff/wand in his right hand while the other 2 are planted in the ground behind him, forming a triangular enclosure. Therefore, he symbolizes established strength. As always in the Rider-Waite-Smith deck, the wands are phallic and sprouting leaves, indicating they are fertile, fecund, and generated vital creative power.

The Tarot of Sacred Kingdoms- 3 of Wands

The Tarot of Sacred Kingdoms shows a doorway into a Sacred kingdom under a large trident shaped tree. Some would say this is a doorway into a kingdom of the Fey, such as the legendary Avalon.

The Fairy Kingdom of Avalon is a mythical and mystical realm deeply rooted in Celtic folklore and Arthurian legend. Avalon is often described as an enchanted island or a hidden land associated with magic and otherworldly beings, including fairies.

In Arthurian legends, Avalon is most famously known as the place where the wounded King Arthur is taken to heal after the Battle of Camlann. The island is often depicted as a place of eternal spring, where beauty and magic abound. Some versions of the myth even suggest that it's a place where time flows differently, making it a realm of immortality and rejuvenation.

Fairies, as magical and ethereal beings, are often associated with Avalon in these tales. They are believed to inhabit the enchanted forests and meadows of the island, creating an otherworldly and harmonious realm.

The Fairy Queen, often identified as Morgan le Fay or another magical figure, is said to rule over this mystical kingdom.

The concept of Avalon and its connection to fairies has inspired numerous works of literature, art, and popular culture. The imagery of an idyllic and magical land, inhabited by fairies and guided by mystical forces, continues to captivate the imagination of those interested in folklore, mythology, and the mystical arts. Hence, we have a magical Tree of three outbranching trunks, shinning with light and starlight sparkles, also known as fairy lights.

Traditionally, the Wands are red and gold, here however, they are the three large branches of a fiery sparkling tree with a threshold to another world in its roots. This element of fiery light is the "Spirit" in all things and/or the motion within the movement of everything. Energy must have point A and 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. On the Sacred Kingdoms the large, lush and ever-expanding tree is shown crowned in a canopy of fertile leaves, implying the fecund fertility of this card.

The implied meanings of this card are growth, expansion, and progress.

Here one is making progress towards their goal of an ideal future by expanding their horizons and seeking out new ways to grow, new opportunities.

When the 3 of Spring/3 of wands is thrown in a divination, it implies:

  • Enterprise.
  • Discovery.
  • Effort.
  • Trade.
  • Established strength. 
  • Commerce.
  • Seeking out an exciting new adventure.

When Reversed:

  • The end of troubles.
  • Suspension or cessation of adversity.
  • Disappointment.
  • Toil.
