Lately, I seem to be experiencing some real-life, acted out tarot. I've been drawing the King of Wands more and more, so, naturally, when I came across an article in the newspaper of this man who recycles old Christmas trees into walking sticks, I found it mildly coincidental (man+staff.) But when I looked up, who walks in but an older man and his WALKING STICK!!! Not the same one from the newspaper, though, but odd anyway because I was sitting indoors on campus. (This is all completely true). Then, today at the drive-in teller, I watched a man go by with a backpack and a walking stick, down the street. I thought it could be either of the two I've already seen (pic in the article), but when I drove past, he was another man. Anyone have similar stories?

Not in that literal way, but in more of a "gee, I hate her, she's such a queen of swords" way. Maybe the Universe is trying to tell you something. What does the King of Wands mean to you?

Last September, I woke up in the middle of the night while camping. I wandered out next to the campfire, which was nearly out, and huddled around the coals for warmth. The stars glittered coldly, clear and bright. While sitting, wrapped in my poncho, I heard two packs of coyotes beginning to sing... one on my left... another far away on the right. The Moon was rising, just a crescent, shining and lovely, from between the towers of the treetops. And all the sudden, I realized I was *inside* the Moon card... the cold night air, the howling of the animals, the Moon's face shining down on me. It made me weep, but in a good way. :)

Wow, Alissa! Sounds like you had a great experience. The Moon card is a power card in my opinion, so being in it is like . . . inspirational? But, the King of Wands has been appearing more and more in my own readings, usually as an outside influence. Maybe it is a person I haven't met yet, I just know that with all the emergences of this symbol, I'll be keeping my eyes open down the road! I guess he'll be the one in the front, staff in hand, with his head held high and leading the troop!

It seems like everytime that I get a 10 Wands lately we have cleared a bunch of brush, thinned the woods and have to start a bonfire to clean it all up, usually not to far from the house. The first time it happened I was amazed and amused, now when it comes up I listen for the sound of my love's chainsaw and pull on my work gloves.

I know what you all mean, theres some court cards that actualy look like the people in my life that belong to that card! Other than that I usuly see objects or images that remind me of the cards.

I do know a girl who is the spitting image of the Hertz Vampire Queen of Cups. Some days it does startle me.
