Meaning

In the 2s, each of the elements gets doubled up, i.e. it gets to react to a similar impulse. For will, this means that two impulses clash and immediately there is a struggle for which one will win out. No one likes to be pulled in different directions at the same time, so very soon one drive wins out over the other. When drawn, the 2 of Wands signifies determination, drive and activity, but also impatience, aggression, and a tendency to go headfirst through walls, feeling competitive and ready to pick a fight with anyone and everyone.

Exploring the Card

Two wizards duel each other crossing wands to resolve their conflict. The image does not refer to a particular scene from the books or to a particular pair of wizards.

Visual Description

Two hands grasp slender wooden wands that cross near their tops to form an X against a stormy, textured sky. The left hand is clothed in a tailored sleeve while the right hand is bare and muscular, each holding a differently detailed wand. Lightning-like streaks flash in the background and ornate, flowing calligraphic flourishes border the scene. Near the bottom edge the printed text reads "2 Domination" and small glyph-like symbols appear at the top and lower center of the image.
