Ten of Wands Tarot Card DESCRIPTION: illustration, colors, and symbolism
- Ten of Wands Tarot Card shows a man carrying a large bundle of ten wands towards a small town only a short distance away. His back is bent. This bundle of wands is a heavy burden for him to bear and he’s stooped over, holding them all up the best he can. He knows he is almost at his destination and will soon be able to release the heavyweight he is bearing. His destination is a small town that can be seen in the distance. The destination would be easily attainable in normal circumstances, but the wands he carries will most certainly slow him down. We cannot see the expression on his face. Does he look happy to be nearing his destination, we can only guess. The card represents someone who is talented and hardworking, but prone to self-punishment and overexertion. This person will almost always choose to put other people’s needs before their own.
