Visual Description

A freckled young woman wearing a tall, tattered witch's hat rides a shaggy horned ram across a grassy bank by a lake. She leans forward, hair and blue dress blowing in the wind, one hand gripping the ram's curled horn and the other raised high holding a large wooden spoon like a staff while a red cape or burst of flame streams behind her. Red flowers and deep-green foliage frame the foreground and a pale-faced lamb watches from the lower right. Distant hills and a serene body of water sit beneath a warm, striped sky and the card has a decorative white border with the title 'Knight of Wands' at the bottom.
