The Four of Wands
In the foreground are four tall wands firmly planted in the ground and connected by a lush garland. Nearby, two women happily wave scarves, and in the distance, there is a bridge spanning a moat, beyond which lies an ancient castle.
Prophetic meanings: They are all clear - rural life, a cozy sanctuary, a reminder of a domestic harvest festival, rest after labor, agreement, harmony, prosperity, peace, and the successful completion of an initiated task.
Reversed card: The meaning remains the same; the same well-being, growth, happiness, charm, and adornment.
In the Golden Dawn tradition, this card is called the Lord of Perfected Work. Waite presents it as a symbol of perfected work, depicted in the form of a trapezoidal arbor adorned with greenery against the backdrop of a castle. The arbor consists of four vertical wands adorned with a garland of roses.
The zodiacal attribute of the card is the third decan of Aries, where Venus is in Aries. The influence of Venus is emphasized in the roses entwined into the flowery canopy of the arbor, as well as in the bouquets of flowers held by two individuals behind the arbor.
