Five of Wands

Brief Description

The Five of Wands symbolizes conflict, competition, and disagreements, often arising from the inability to work together.

The card encourages finding common ground and cooperation to achieve greater success, suggesting the need for diplomacy or possibly withdrawing from irreconcilable situations.

"I KNOW BETTER! NO, I DO!"

Working with others can sometimes be challenging. At other times, it feels downright impossible.

The Witches' Quarrel

These witches are best friends, each a master of magical secrets and crafts. Imagine what they could achieve if they worked together! Unfortunately, each one is convinced they know the best recipe, the most effective ingredients, and the correct way to stir the potion. So engrossed in their argument, they neglect the boiling cauldron, which feels seconds away from exploding. Hopefully, the witches will come to their senses and realize they could accomplish more together if only they stopped trying to prove who is right.

Consider This

When the Five of Wands appears in a reading, it might signify that you are entangled in a complex situation involving others. Whether it's family, colleagues, or friends, there's discord. Could you be the peacemaker who helps all parties come together and collaborate? Otherwise, if resolution seems impossible, maybe it's better to walk away. Sadly, you cannot force people to act sensibly. You’re only in control of your actions and should not let ego or pride hinder collective efforts. You do follow this approach, don't you?
