Knight of Wands
From the LWB~
The first thing I notice when looking at this card is the covered horse. As form of transportation the horse can represent our personal journey and moving forward. In a mystical sense, the horse can represent an inward or a shamanic journey. So why the cloak? This fancy fabric could represent how the knight feels about his spiritual path ~ an outward, creative expression of the inward journey.
The horse seems to be fighting the bit ~
~ ~sometimes we bite off more than we can chew.
~ ~or we say, “I’m going to have to chew on that a while.”
The knight seems relaxed, but you can tell that he is very focused. The way the he is sitting, and the fore leg of the horse reminds me of the Tennessee Walkers or the Spanish horses with beautiful ambling gaits. So someone watching would see a lot of motion and activity in relation to the actual forward movement.
That’s how any creative endeavor is, a lot of musing, practice and exampling before the actual project is seen by others to progress and move towards completion. Maybe that is why creative people appear to be ‘just sitting around doing nothing’ ~ they are told “get a real job”. It's times like this, when it’s important to go inward to find and understand our true calling, and then stay focused.
From the LWB~
The horse~A knight walks his covered horse into the wind. A message is wrapped around the wand he carries and sparse fire blows against a wall behind them. He wears a simple, flat helmet and a chainmail hood. He and his horse are finely dressed in matching fabric with a diamond and vine pattern.
Meaning: An adventurous young man. Putting ideas into action. Eagerness. A journey or move to a new home.
