Just a plain ole human hand, holding a golden wand where even the fruit and folage have turned to gold. Is this the way that man can find his creative power. He can set the world on fire….just a human hand, holding the gold of alchemy – or has he created the gold through the alchemy of his creativity?
I see this as the power to turn on the fire, passion, “paint the town red” .
This Ace of wands is so different from my other favorites, which show new “green growth” and themes along those lines. The others indicate 'new growth" which I think of as starting small and growing into size...This starts out with a "Giant". It says, power, force…..capacity to make it all happen…..can you do it, do you want to do it? Making gold can be frieghtening….
Konraad says wands indicate "School, career, creative adventures".....it is often fear-some to start a fire....it needs to be tended, flamed, can burn freely, out of control, or "burn-out".....
This card says that to me. So I too, find it a little more "strong" than other Ace of wands.
Just my thoughts……
