Session 5: The Minor Arcana | Wands: Passion, Creativity & Action

Session 5: The Minor Arcana – Wands

Foundations of Tarot Series
Welcome to Session 5 of the Foundations of Tarot Series! Now that we’ve completed The Fool’s Journey through the Major Arcana, it’s time to explore the Minor Arcana, the cards that reflect our everyday experiences, decisions, challenges, and relationships.

In this session, we’ll begin with the Suit of Wands and the element of fire. Wands represent passion, creativity, purpose, ambition, inspiration, and action.

Together, we’ll explore how each card tells a story about personal growth, motivation, and the pursuit of our goals. The goal is to understand the energy of the suit as a whole so you can recognize its patterns and confidently interpret Wands in your readings.

About Your Facilitator
Hi, I’m Vee, the reader behind That Priestess Tarot. I created this community because I believe tarot should be accessible, thought-provoking, and rooted in genuine discussion. Whether you’re opening your first deck or have been reading for years, my hope is that you’ll leave each session with a deeper understanding of the cards and of yourself.
