Nine of Wands
The Nine of Wands depicts an elder Viking in contemplative reverence before a Skuld's Net, evoking endurance and respect for life's labors. It acknowledges recognition of hard work and urges persistence—don't give up—while advising release of burdens and pushing through stress. Reversed, it cautions against ineffective action and recommends breathing, conserving energy, or surrendering when your resolve is being tested.

Description
An elder Viking stands in front of a wooden representation of Skuld's Net. Their long grey hair blends into their dark grey robes. Their eyes are closed, in contemplation or reverence. A Skuld's Net has been shaped out of nine staffs. The icon appears deep in the woods, where the tree's canopy grows high and very little light comes in. The trees have moss and mold all over them. Whether or not the elder has come here on their own, or stumbled upon this site, is unclear.

Visual Description
An older, bearded man in a heavy cloak stands in a misty forest, looking down with a serious, contemplative expression. To his left is a rough arrangement of nine wooden staves stuck into the ground, forming a jagged fence-like pattern; some staves show red glowing marks. The numeral 9 is visible near the top center above a small bundle of twigs. Tall tree trunks and soft fog fill the background, giving the scene a muted, earthy palette.
