Wand lizards

Much has been made of the armoured boot of
The KING of PENTACLES

But few have noted the metal helmet of
The PAGE of WANDS
http://www.sacred-texts.com/tarot/pkt/img/wapa.jpg

Could her 'difficulty' with matching her tunic to the strange
House of Fire reflect her Earthy origins? After all, she's holding
that Wand like a tree, as if she's thinking of planting it!

I initially thought the page of wands was leaning on the staff but closer inspection has shown she is lifting it as if to plant it. A strange place to plant a tree~ in the middle of a desert. I doubt her "earthy" tree will take root in this firey land. A page of wands is still a wand, whether of the family or not.

True. Still though, look at The Page of Pentacles and
see if she isn't the very picture of a Sun Worshiper...

For me, the lizards / salamanders (from a totems perspective) signifies Dream world. So I see them as a person who has a goal or dream that they need to start on, lista of creativity.
