Introduction
One of my favorite cards! For meaning, certainly, but also just visually—almost every deck I've ever seen has such a beautiful Eight of Wands. There is something so hopeful and reassuring in this card. It's rife with the Wands energy of action and pursuit. Whenever I pull it, I get the feeling of hard work and the chase paying off.
Design and Symbolism
In many Eight of Wands designs, the Wands are pointing down, as if they are about to land. To me, the ascension feels more important. The Wands have launched, but they are still seeking that pinnacle, the cresting point. It is a message to keep going, further reinforced by the Latin proverb emblazoned across the banner wrapped around one of the spears—"Fortune favors the bold."
Interpretation
A lot of interpretations of the Eight of Wands favor the idea of things coming to an end (usually a satisfactory one), but I think the journey is important, and how the journey fairs can decide the outcome.
