My Cart





The King of Wands sits on his throne, holding a blossoming wand in his hand, representing life and creativity. His throne and cape are decorated with lions and salamanders, both symbols of fire and strength. The salamanders biting their own tails represent infinity and the ongoing drive to move forward against all obstacles.



The King of Wands represents pure fire energy in its masculine form. Unlike the other Wands court cards, the King is not so interested in creation and creativity, or in dreaming up ideas and implementing them himself. Instead, he is more inclined to take an idea and then enlist others to help him actualize that idea. Thus, when the King of Wands appears in a Tarot reading, it is a sign that you are stepping into the role of visionary leader, ready to lead your people towards a common goal. You have a clear vision of where you want to go and now you are manifesting that vision with the support of the people around you. Others naturally gravitate towards you because you are charismatic, focused, and determined, and they believe in you and your vision. They want to be a part of what you are manifesting and are here to support you one hundred percent of the way. You are also masterful at being able to get other people to do your work for you, while keeping them on-side throughout the process.

The King of Wands reminds you to lead your life with intent, vision and a long-term view. You have a grand vision of what is truly possible, and you will stop at nothing to see it through. Unlike the Knight who can be a little impulsive with his actions, you have the maturity to see through your vision right to the end and beyond. You achieve a lot because you are very clear about your future direction and how you will get there. You do not waste your time on activities or relationships that you believe will lead nowhere. You never just go with the flow; instead, you prefer to embark on a strong and direct course of action. And you are inspired by long-term, sustainable success, wanting to have a lasting impact. You are here to leave a legacy.

The appearance of the King of Wands also suggests that an opportunity is presenting itself to you, and you now have the power to accept the opportunity and take on the challenge. You are the determining factor in this situation. If you want it to be successful, it will. And equally, if you are not fully committed to it, it will struggle to truly blossom and grow. You can create any outcome you wish so be mindful about your intentions and vision. You hold the power.
