This week we meet the Ten of Wands. This is the card made about the pathologically independent people in your life. I love her so much. I have such a strong relate to the 10 of wands. It’s the “I can do it myself” card. It’s the “if you tell me I can’t, then you bet your ass I’m gonna try” card. Is she delusional? Maybe. She is pathologically independent. Yep. She might have to drop all those wands not once, not twice, at least three times before she is open to asking for help. There’s probably a reason she is like that.
Whatever the case, the card is an invitation to reconsider your load. Some things are structural and you just simply can’t change the whole system alone. It doesn’t mean you’re a quitter. You are small (and mighty!!)–but small. Some people–some–might ask for help. But that’s up to you.
Description: Woman attempting to wrap her arms around a bundle of 10 wands bigger than herself.
Numbers: 10 is completion and resolution. In the case of wands the 10 is completion in the sense of “the straw that broke the camel’s back” sense of the word.
Elements: Wands are of course fire, instinct, the world of the will, of agency.
Symbols: Desert—corresponds with fire.
