Knight of Wands
The Knight of Wands represents energetic drive, certainty of purpose, and readiness to pursue bold, unconventional ideas. It can indicate a person who is sociable, self-assured, and intellectually bold, but who may be pompous, aggressive, or dismissive of others' ideas. Upright, it signifies embarking courageously on a path toward a goal, making chaotic or erratic progress yet forging a path nonetheless; reversed, it warns of uncertainty, hesitancy, incompetence, or an ill-advised endeavor that should be abandoned. Magickally, the card is used to help forge new paths and gain acceptance for unconventional plans, while reversed it can be invoked to bring a reality check to an overly egotistical individual.

Visual Description
A fully armored knight with a plumed helmet rides atop a giant eagle in flight, holding a long wand or staff aloft. The bird's keen eye and powerful wing fill much of the composition, and autumnal trees blur beneath them. The knight's armor gleams, his cloak and plumes stream in the wind, and a decorative banner at the bottom reads "Knight of Wands." The overall scene conveys motion and bold ascent.
