Card 24 • wands

Three of Wands

Brief Description

Three figures stand at the water's edge watching a drakkar sail out at sunrise, suggesting anticipation, planning, and the launch of a venture. The lone, partly visible watcher and the rune above the first figure imply inner guidance, foresight, or a sign that supports the outward journey. Upright, the card encourages building momentum, forming beneficial partnerships, and exploring opportunities on a larger or global scale. Reversed, it advises managing expectations, clarifying intentions, and possibly waiting for the right timing while maintaining desire. The bind rune reinforces the need to keep to the plan and stay focused as events unfold.

Description

Three figures stand at the water's edge. They watch as a drakkar heads out into the seas. The watchers can see people rowing the dragon ship out into the waters. All the figures have the hoods of their cloaks up. Their faces are obscure, except for one. This lone person seems to be staring at something other than the longship. The sun is just rising as the ship heads out. A single Rune appears just over the head of the first figure standing from the left.

Upright

build momentum, make beneficial partnerships, explore the world around you, go global.

Reversed

manage expectations, clarify intentions, unknown connections, wait for the right time, maintain desire.

Bind Rune

keep to the plan and stay focused.

Visual Description

Three hooded figures stand on a rocky shoreline holding tall, knotted staves as they look out over a calm sea. A longship with a yellow sail moves across the water toward distant, snow-dusted mountains under a golden, clouded sky. The light of sunrise or sunset reflects on the waves and the cliffs, and a small wand symbol with the numeral 3 appears near the top of the image with an upward-pointing arrow.
