Card Name

Seven of Wands

Divinatory meaning

Defense! Some things are worth protecting. In this situation something is worth standing up for ... yourself, an idea, someone else. Whatever is being attacked deserves someone to watch its back. First of all, because the thing has worth. Second, because it is not a fair fight. The attack is either coming from several fronts or is a combined effort. Standing alone for what is right isn't easy, but it is better than the alternative.

Advice

Know what is right in this case and have the courage to take a stand.

Reversed

Overreacting, being easily offended, picking a fight, defending the wrong thing.

Visual Description

A young man stands on higher ground beneath a teal and pink sky, gripping a long ornate wand diagonally across his body. Six other wands with gem-like, faceted heads rise up from below, angled toward him. He wears a red military-style coat with gold epaulettes, white trousers, a blue sash tied at the waist, and brown boots. The card border displays the Roman numeral VII at the top and crescent-and-star motifs in the corners.
