Invoked

The start of something, whether a project, family, or friendship; the beginning of an adventure or journey; invention; excitement; unlocking the door to new opportunities.

Hand of Glory

The Hand of Glory is one of the most powerful yet rarest tools in witchcraft. It is the hand of a hanged man that is prepared with the supernatural properties of herbs and then dried. The Hand of Glory unlocks all doors, and its flames cannot be extinguished (except with milk). It renders those who stand in the witch’s way immobile, usually by putting them to sleep. With this tool, nothing can block the witch in their endeavors.

Divinatory Meaning

The door is unlocked! Invoking the Ace of Staffs signals a time when no opportunity is locked to you. You are beginning something important, whether it is a new job, project, relationship, or journey. It could represent the beginning of an inventive process where the excitement of new ideas fill you with purpose. This is a time when your potential is being used in amazing ways and you should enjoy it. Opportunities are opening up all around you and nothing can stand in your way!

Banished Meaning

It is said that if the thumb of the Hand of Glory doesn’t light, its power is lost, and that is exactly what the Ace of Staffs banished represents. That which has started has failed. It could indicate the end of short-term relationships, loss of opportunities you thought were secured, or the unexpected cancelation of plans, such as vacations or new projects. Whatever it is, doors that were once open are closing. You may also be someone who waits for the negative when you are happy. You do not trust when things are going right and it is the primary thing that locks those doors for you.
