Core Meaning
The Ace of Wands carries the meaning of the first step, action energy and initiative, illumination and the fire of a new idea that inspires and gives courage to take risks. This card is also about breakthrough, liberation, growth through cutting away the unnecessary and fearlessness. It represents going into the dark forest and lighting the 'fire' of strength. Baba Yaga gave Vasilisa a staff with a human skull (in my vision this was always a horse's skull), a helper from the realm of the dead, which burned away the evil that had settled on her path to a happy life.
Visual Description
A ribbon across the bottom of the image reads "ACE OF WANDS." Three tall, dark wands rise from the ground, each topped with macabre ornaments: a human skull on the left and an animal skull with pale green ghostly flames in its eye sockets near the center. Reddish, clawed hands with black talons reach into the frame from above and the right, suggesting movement toward the center. The forest floor is littered with small mushrooms and fallen leaves, and slender tree trunks form a muted background.
