I haven't got my Druidcraft cards yet, but am reading all these posts with great interest and trying to learn as much as I can before I get them. I'd love to see a post on this, to hear everyone's opinions.

Sulis said:The Wheel of Fortune is usually about lifes cycles and about how fete or destiny just carries on, round and round and we can't control it. What we can do is take solace in the fact that nothing is forever, everything is a phase and once you've hit the bottom then things can only get better (or vice versa).
I think that this Wheel card turns that on it's head a little.
Here we have someone who is taking control of her own destiny. She isn't happy to leave things up to the hands of fete.
She's preparing to do some sort of magical ritual. She's on a beach, the place where the land becomes the sea; a magical place where the veil between the worlds is thin.
She's drawing her circle, creating sacred space so that she can work her magic and bring about a change.
She knows that everything is a phase and that the Wheel will always turn but she's helping it along a bit.
There's more of a feeling of being in control of our own destinies with this card than with many Wheel of Fortune cards and I think that's how it should be in a deck based on Wicca and Druidry. Magic to me is about taking control of your own destiny and giving the forces around you a little nudge in the direction you'd like things to go.
