Page of Wands
The Page of Wands represents creative potential and new beginnings in their earliest stage. This card embodies the earth element of fire - like a coal that can be kindled into flame. It signifies someone who is creative and ready to take new steps but remains dependent on others, setting high goals while still only preparing to pursue them. As the earth of fire, this card holds the potential of a future king.

Visual Symbolism
We see a branch above, to which swings are presumably attached (though they may be suspended from somewhere higher). On the branch we see only a few red flowers - small tentative developments in the suit. Our character is of conditionally male gender, which maximally corresponds to the fire element. In his hands he holds a certain scroll - information that he keeps in his grasp. Though nominally the arcanum is connected to the earth element, he still sits on swings - detached from the ground. Like pure potential of some idea, as he is not connected to the material world.

Visual Description
A skeletal figure wearing a tall black top hat and a red jacket sits on a wooden swing hung from a tree branch, holding a long wand or rod. The figure's bony feet dangle below the seat and its skull face is turned slightly forward. A dense spray of red roses and green vines frames the lower edge of the card, while a patterned background of faint sugar-skull motifs fills the field. The title 'PAGE OF WANDS' is printed along the bottom edge of the card.
