Imagery

The witch looks out over a valley, standing high on a cliff. He is ready to make the leap and take flight. In his right hand, he scries in his crystal ball to see what the flight has in store for him so he is prepared for any situation. Against a tree rests another broom, perhaps left for an initiate witch he is waiting for to take to the Sabbath. He knows the valley may hold untold dangers, but there is always promise hidden in the Mysteries of the surrounding forests.

Divinatory Meaning

The Two of Staffs invoked exudes an adrenaline rush from taking a risk. Perhaps you have just quit your job, or are thinking of quitting, to start your own venture; or perhaps you are going all-in on a relationship or investment. It could even be a significant move. Whatever it is, it is huge and fraught with danger, yet can lead to overwhelming success. Use your critical thinking skills to choose your next step, even if it seems you are stepping off a cliff. If you do not wish to embark on this path alone, turn to those around you because you have very influential power due to the strong sense of trust you have earned with them. You also have the reputation of being kind and generous to those who deserve it, and easily see through deception.

When Banished

The Two of Staffs tells of a need to evaluate new prospects because although they hold promise, they will ultimately end in misery. You or someone you know is extremely stubborn and refuses to change due to a false sense that they are on the right path or justified in their actions. This and the situations around you are leading to physical pain. There are also situations that are causing fear that bring helplessness and an inability to rest easily. Don't stubbornly stay on your current course; doing so is only going to cause suffering for you.
