Ten of Wands
The Ten of Wands represents a crucial transition point where one cycle ends and another begins. Like a butterfly that camouflages itself for protection, this card indicates the completion of a significant phase in relationships, career, or personal pursuits. The accumulated power and energy from past efforts is being released, creating space for new beginnings. This ending, while potentially challenging, opens the door to fresh opportunities and renewed vitality.

Symbolism
The red geometrid moth butterfly serves as the central symbol, mimicking its environment and protecting itself from birds and insectivores, which directly parallels the symbolism of the traditional Ten of Wands. Below lies an empire, a concentration of power - solid and impenetrable like a stone wall. The lower part of the butterfly represents the pelvic bones, which is fitting since the suit of wands embodies vitality and sexuality. These qualities are formed in the lower energy centers (chakras) - the first and second chakras. A certain stage with the suit of wands is coming to an end - whether it's an idea, relationship, career, or passion. Energy is being released, allowing us to begin something new.
Card's Message
A person stands at a transition point, dealing with themes of power, work, and passion. In relationships - the ending of connections. In career - what a person has been engaged in is concluding, and something new will begin. Regarding money - the resource that helped them earn has been depleted, and income will soon come to an end.
Visual Description
A large red moth or butterfly with mask-like wing shapes dominates the center of the card. Below it is a red-hued city of towers and a round keep surrounded and almost overtaken by a mass of thorny vines and blooming roses. A faint decorative skull motif is visible in the pale background behind the insect. The card is framed by climbing rose vines and at the bottom edge the word "WANDS" appears, with the numeral "10" printed at the sides.
