Analysis and Symbolism
This card is the first embodiment of the Ace's fire, fire from our incomprehensible primordial source. In it, the Divine fire of the Ace passes through our being and pours into the external world. This fire brings us a rich sense of fullness and satisfaction. And although this force is part of us, it is simultaneously separate from us in the sense that we serve as a channel for it, not its source. The Two of Wands... On the card we see a Vampire warrior standing in a challenging pose, wearing a helmet adorned with bull's horns on his head. His scepter is a shackled spear with which he decisively and persistently destroys his enemies. In this image we can trace his close connection to Count Vlad III the Impaler (Tepes), known by the name Dracula. He stands in the midst of a fortress surrounded by fiery energy; in the background we see a watchtower whose signal fire represents a concentration of energy (symbolizing leadership) and serves silently, embodying the main quality of this card as a channel for fiery creative energy.

Visual Description
A muscular warrior stands in profile against a blood-red sky, gripping a long spear or scepter with both hands. He wears an ornate horned helmet and a cloak that billows behind him, and his exposed arm shows a tattoo. Behind him a tall tower or brazier sends up a steady flame and a wall of fire glows to the right, suggesting a fortified place or battlefield. Chains of metal rings hang from his belt and dark clouds roll across the horizon.
