Three of Wands

This card promises growth and shows a person who is full of potential.
The lotus in the lower area, gives birth to the three wands which are represented as three pillars. They are corresponding to the pillars of the kabbalistic tree of life. Every project, which is about to succeed is based on a sturdy foundation. The three pillars represent the bearing base of every such endeavor.
The baldachin above gives us an idea about the creative, but already bound force, which eventually leads to the next step on the way. It is a reference to Binah and the expansion of this idea. It’s formula of triangulation is enclosed in every project, we may initiate.
Think about a sketch, an artist has made or a draft an architect has drawn – a concrete, but rough shape, of what is about to come. We can compare this idea to the symbolism of the rough ashlar/stone in freemasonry.
If we look closer, the planetary symbols are contained within the seemingly chaotic structure of the triangle. This means, that every idea is already included, however not embodied yet. It has a form but hasn’t come to life. The person in the middle pillar/wand is elevated by this process, guarded, and herded like an egg. This means, that the idea is still protected from consequences at this point of the early design.
A lot of spirals are all over this card, which does not only mean, that a considerable amount of creative and floating energy is involved. It does also indicate that many possible ways, lead into paths without an end or outcome. Not every draft turns into a painting, and not every idea turns out to be a viable plan.
That not all permutations succeed, is part of the journey and grand design. However, we should observe ourselves at this point. Questions like – „do I usually follow my plans? “, and „am I able and willing to walk my path without major distractions?“ can be helpful, in solving issues with lack of success. Usually, the outside world is not the reason for failure, but the inner continuity and trust in the „future self“ maybe an issue. Also, a draft should be planned from here on. Creative chaos is only valid until a certain point in an endeavor. Structure, planning and calculating must also be involved in this process, at the right time.
We must not regret those nowhere leading spirals and ideas which didn’t make it. If looking backwards, we cannot look forward at the same time. The path that’s ahead is full of opportunity and prospect, when the old ideas are already dead and rotting. It is advised, to trust the inner feelings. With a bit of luck, there’s a glimpse of foresight, of what is to come already inside of us, which only has to be realized to manifest itself.
