Two of Wands
The Two of Wands presents a scene of deliberate choice: two beating hearts and two staffs laid out before a white-gloved hand poised between them. It symbolizes planning, the exertion of will, and the moment when vision requires the courage to select a path in partnership, enterprise, or creative endeavor. The tactile imagery urges naming your desire and committing to steer the world, while the blood and wilted rose warn that fear and hesitation will turn opportunities into burdens. Upright it invites deliberate action and charting new territory with intent; in reversal it signals timidness, refusal to choose, and stalled potential.

Visual description
Two anatomically detailed human hearts lie side by side on a grey, blood-splattered surface. A white-gloved hand reaches up from the bottom center toward a slender wand and a second ornate staff that lie horizontally, while a single wilted rose rests near the top left. Gold filigree frames the card and a decorative plaque at the bottom reads "RITUAL OF CHOOSING TWO OF STICKS" with smaller text "crooked-way-tarot." The background shows faint triangular markings beneath the splatters and a small religious-style painting is visible within the top border.
Meaning
You stand before a table of choice, two beating hearts and two staffs laid out as if awaiting a pledge. The air tastes of iron and rose, and the white-gloved hand hovering between options feels the weight of consequence; you imagine maps and doorways opening beyond the frame. This scene speaks of planning and the beginning of exerting will — the moment when vision meets the courage to select a path, whether in partnership, enterprise, or a bold creative turn. The hands-on, tactile imagery asks you to name your desire and place it in your palm: the world is small enough to be steered when you commit. Yet the blood and the wilted rose whisper caution about fear and hesitation; when indecision takes hold the same choices become burdens and opportunities wither. In reversal, the card can read as narrow horizons, timidness, or refusal to choose, turning potential voyages into stalled hesitation, but upright it invites deliberate action and the charting of new territory with partnership and intent.
