Radiant Rider-Waite
Page of Wands
LWB
In a scene similar to th e former (which according to the book was the Knight of Wands), a young man stands in the act of proclamation. He is unknown but faithful and his tidings are strange.
Divinatory Meaning
Dark young man, faithful, a lover, an envoy and a postman. Beside a man, he will bear favourable testimony concerning him. He is a dangerous rival, if followed by the Page of cups. Has the chief qualities of his suit.
My Impressions
In the background there are three pyramids. In some contest this can be seen as ancient wisdom, in which case this may indicate someone interested in this, someone who is learning about these things, or poosible some message that can be gotten by these things, which include such things as astrology and tarot.
If it is in relation to a relationship reading the Page of wands could indicate that a person would be interested in you, as the wand itself looks a bit phallic. On the other hand, since the man is gazing and smiling at the wand, may indicate that is someone who is only interested in physical gratification. In the sense that they may not necessarily want a relationship. In another sense, it could indicate that this person may be playing the field, if already in a relationship with this other person.
As Pages are usually associated with youth, children and possibly immaturity, in some sense it may indicate that something that has been started can prove to be a good potential for something provided the necessary action and effort is being put into it and maintained. At the same time it could indicate that things are always started but not continued or finished. There seems to be something that says that maybe you would only continue on with things that you find interesting, in the sense, if you lose interest and things get boring, you may actually stop doing it, instead of continue on with it.
As the Wands are associated with action, zest for life, energy, eagerness, optimism, enthusiasm, as well as spontaniety, recklessness, impulsiveness and an adventurous nature, then it could indicate such a person, or at least sort of qualities you should embrace yourself. With this it could indicate some form of selfishness, insensitivity towards others, inconsideration and thoughtlessness. Combine that with the fact that the Page corresponds to immaturity, child-like behaviour etc and youth then the result you would get someone who would do what they want regardless of advice and someone who will say things that are quite blunt, which basically means that they will say things to others without taking in consideration of how it may make the other person feel or even the consequences.

Golden Tarot of Klimt
Knave of Wands
LWB
Help from a companion, friendship and future good news.
My Impression
In the card you have a man wearing something like a toga, with triangles on it, some of which has eyes in the triangles, he shows someone of great physical strength, he is holding the wands with both hands to the left and he is l ooking down to his right. The patterns on the borders to the left and right of the card indicates a growth of something. This indicates that something that has been started in th e near past, either through learning or something else, and if the person has the ability to stay focused on this and the strength to keep pursuing it, something worthwhile would come of it in the future.
There is something behind his head, which looks a bit like a lamp shade. In some context, it could indicate a brilliant idea, in some sense, that has been acted on quite quickly without giving too much thought of the consequences, or at least the pitfalls and potential problems of such an idea. In another way, it could indicate inner wisdom, higher consciousness, or even a spirit guide or a guardian angel. In which case it could indicate that there may have been an urge to do something and following your instincts and gut feelings. So in some sense, this could indicate a sense of protection, security, safety, encouragement and support from someone or something.
The triangles on the toga, and the fact that he is wearing a toga, could indicate, like the Radiant Rider-Waite, that of ancient wisdom. Where the eye itself in some sense could indicate the third eye and perhaps an ability to look into the future. In some sense it may indicate the ability to tap into the Universal knowledge, and that wisdom comes from instinctively knowing what is right and what is wrong. In some sense, this could translate to the fact that there maybe some indication that you are more willing to carry through with these ideas, and what not, instead of letting things stop you, including other people.
