Three of Wands: The Power of Manifestation
Two dots make a line; three dots make a portal. The Wands are forward energy, not necessarily temporal or directional, more so an energy that relates to a non-staganant state of mind. Three of Wands is an exceptional fortune for anyone who is a wonder with a multi-faceted life. Sometimes we take time to create art, to process grief, to digest joy. Everyone’s timeframe is different. No one’s capacity is the same. But with this card, we all look ahead, into the portal, beyond the past. There’s a sense of courage and excitement knowing that the pondering will find its place to settle, the pieces will come together in their own time. We manifest.
Trust the lifting energy brought by the three wands. What comes, comes. Trusting this card as an invite to a threshold into the next stage in our life is the best demonstration of a powerful manifestation.

Six of Wands: Enjoy It While It Lasts.
“Through snow we ran, I recall her glance
Then the ray fades and we split ways
The moment you know that this will end
And stay a memory, or a beautiful dream
Why waste time
When there is none?
Wooh-ooh
Enjoy it while it lasts.”

Knight of Wands: Where did the butterflies go?
“Use your words!” Most of us had been told so by our parents when we were young. As a toddler, we had needs that we did not know how to express verbally, either because of the lack of vocabulary or difficulty of processing thoughts and emotions at such an early age. Contrarily as an adult, we now have needs that we choose not to express with words. Most of the time it is because we do not get what we want if we say it out loud. Words worked with our parents because they were obligated to provide for us. It’s beneficial to them to figure out what we need by our words so they can get on with their day. Now expressing what we desire verbally sometimes does not work like magic as before because the person we address our need to is not obligated to fulfill it. Nine out of ten if a man asks a woman randomly in a bar for having sexual intercourse, it is not going to turn out well. It doesn’t imply that therefore the man should not have asked for permission. It simply means that the act of pursuing doesn’t work. After trial and error, in adulthood we learn that in order to get what we long for, we need to seduce.
Seduction is an nonverbal form of persuasion through one’s charm, charisma and attentiveness. The act of seduction allows room for fervent imagination, enticing the subject into an illusive world that takes them out of their vapidity, a life without fantasy. Knight of Wands is the seducer carrying an insidious ability to discover what one thirsts for. There is an unspoken passion for them to turn the observed desire into the fire of mystery. When we pull this card, we are asked to take a closer look at our inner seducer: What do you crave for? What is your secret pleasure? Or, do you even desire something? What happened to that tingling feeling when you had a crush on someone in school? Where did the butterflies go? Did they fly away because we dull our desires to be a stoic adult as expected? Did they fly away because we forgot how to allure?
If there is one card in Tarot about sexuality, it is Knight of Wands. It shines a light on our (lack of) confidence for wanting for more, for feeling sexually empowered and liberated. There is a part of us that never goes away: our primal desires. What does it take for you to get back to the sovereignty of desire? What does it take for you to feel attractive? What does it take for the butterflies to come back again? Even beyond sex, it is a card to call for the desire in us to be a passionate explorer of life, people, culture, and knowledge.
