Ten of Wands
The Ten of Wands symbolizes the burden and responsibility that come with success. It represents feelings of oppression and hopelessness due to the weight of obligations. While wealth can bring opportunities, it also demands a high price, as illustrated by the image of the chandelier, which hangs precariously. This card warns of the distress and discomfort that may come from taking on too much.

Imagery and Symbolism
The Ten of Wands transports us to the remote shoreline of a lonely island. An ornate chandelier is tethered to a decayed wooden gallows, which looms dangerously above a distressed woman. Occupied by ten wands, the chandelier serves as a symbol both for wealth and responsibility to said fortune. The suspension of the chandelier and survival of the flames relies entirely on their host. Rough waters and jagged stones line the landscape, setting the stage for discomfort. The lucrative accomplishments that were once celebrated now weigh upon the back of the successful individual.
