Card 28 • wands

Seven of Wands

Brief Description

The Seven of Wands represents a moment when you must accept and surrender to what is already happening. Like the unstoppable arrival of autumn, some processes in life are beyond our control and require acceptance rather than resistance. The card counsels that while you may feel compelled to fight or struggle, the wisest path is to embrace the inevitable changes and trust that acceptance will lead to the best possible outcome.

Symbolism

This card captures the moment when what is already happening must be accepted and embraced. What can be clearly traced is mushrooms—a multitude of mushrooms both on the ground and on trees, with even the tree crowns intertwined into a peculiar mycelial network like an entire human lineage and uncontrollable processes. This crown also appears in the form of a skull, with clearly visible eye sockets, nasal cavities, and even glimpses of jawbones. Here we see the approaching autumn—you cannot oppose it in any way. You can cry, suffer, but you must see the inevitability of this period's arrival. Here we encounter something that 'something' is happening, and it seems like you need to do something, to fight, although in essence, as I have already said, you should only accept.

Card's Message

A person is now actively resisting something, but they need to accept it, and everything will resolve in the best possible way. In relationships—there is no need for struggle; you need to accept yourself and your situation in the moment. And things will remain this way for some time.

Visual Description

An avenue of tall, slender trees rises from a dark, rocky forest floor, their bare, tangled branches forming a dense canopy overhead. Red leaves and petals drift downward among the trunks, while mushrooms, scattered stones and a single round golden object lie on the ground near clusters of small red roses. The perspective leads the eye up and forward between the trunks toward a pale, muted sky.
