Ace of Wands
The card shows a staff planted in the ground, decorated with trinkets, a horned skull, cloth bindings, flames, scorched earth, and runes, evoking a potent, initiating creative force. Upright it signifies a burst of energy, invention, an initial spark of passion, a new idea, and creative insight. Reversed it warns of feeling blocked, burned out, or missing the drive of life and urges attention to how enthusiasm is being channeled. The Bind Rune admonition to be aware of your creative passions emphasizes focusing and tending that spark so it can be expressed rather than wasted.

Visual Description
A single wooden staff is planted upright in scorched ground, its top fashioned into a crossbeam from which small charms and talismans hang. A ram skull crowns the staff and glowing runes run down the shaft; a small numeral "1" appears near the top of the image. Flames and a wall of fire rage behind the staff under a cloudy sky, and tattered cloth is tied around the pole. The foreground is littered with stones and ash.
