Description and Symbolism
Esoteric Symbolism Embedded in the Eight of Wands
The only card in the entire arcana that does not depict a human or a body part of a human is the Eight of Wands. It is a simple card with just eight wands flying through a clear blue sky. They look as if they are in rapid action, racing against the wind and across the small rolls and valleys of the earth below.
They have been set to hit a specific target and nothing can stop their goal. Due to the laws of gravity, they are going to have to stop somewhere.
Notice that the wands are heading east, toward the rising sun. The wand at the bottom is touching the earth. This indicates a blending of earth, air, water and fire. As above, so below.
