Card 25 • wands

Four of Wands

Brief Description

The Four of Wands represents a wound or injury that brings an end to chaotic forces. Like the chimera struck down by Bellerophon's arrows from the sky, this card signifies the defeat of monstrous or conflicting energies through divine intervention or higher wisdom. The wound, though painful, represents a necessary transformation that stops destructive patterns. This card suggests that sometimes healing comes through difficult experiences that ultimately restore order and peace.

Keywords

Wound.

Visual Description

A wounded lion lies on pale ground with its mouth wide open in a silent roar. Three arrows are lodged in its back and a pool of blood stains the earth beneath it. A snake curls near the lion's hindquarters, and gnarled trees and rocky outcrops frame the distant, muted landscape. The card is bordered with a decorative gold frame and shows a small wand symbol and the numeral 4 at the upper edge, plus multilingual suit titles along the bottom.
