Page of Wands
A youthful, theatrical figure stands at the edge of an old manor holding a flaming staff, symbolizing a spark of curiosity, news, or a new creative impulse. The card suggests energetic beginnings: an invitation to explore, experiment, or embark on travel, with enthusiasm that spreads easily. The burning skull and the manor's shadow warn that novelty can carry risk and that boldness without planning may cause harm. Upright it promises lively starts and fresh insights if eagerness is tempered by attention and learning; reversed it can indicate impatience, immature gambits, missed messages, or fear of starting.

Visual description
A young, pale-faced figure with purple hair stands in an autumnal yard strewn with fallen leaves, holding a tall staff topped by a flaming skull. The figure wears ornate, brocaded period clothing and pointed shoes, framed by two bare trees and a large, old manor house in the background. The color palette mixes cool blues of the building and sky with warm oranges of fire and leaves. An ornate gold border and a nameplate at the bottom read 'COUSIN MARTIN' and 'PAGE OF STICKS.'
Meaning
You enter the scene as the page stands at the edge of the old house, a spark of flame crowning his staff and leaves crackling underfoot; there is a sense of news arriving or a new curiosity about to be tried. The air smells faintly of smoke and fallen leaves, and the figure’s bright hair and ornate dress speak of a youthful, theatrical impulse ready to be expressed. This card moves like a messenger bringing an idea, an invitation to explore, a creative experiment or a sudden call to travel; energy and enthusiasm are palpable and infectious. At the same time the burning skull and the manor’s shadow hint that novelty may carry risk, and that boldness without planning can scorch as easily as it lights. If you follow the page, expect lively beginnings, fresh insights, and the thrill of first steps, but temper eagerness with attention so curiosity becomes constructive rather than reckless. In reversed moments the same energy falters into impatience, immature gambits, missed messages, or fear of starting; what could be a spark becomes a flicker unless tended. Let the image remind you that apprenticeship and playful experimentation open doors, yet growth asks for focus and the willingness to learn from small mistakes.
