Upright: The Page of Wands upright is the spark of inspiration personified – enthusiastic, adventurous, and full of youthful energy. This card often represents a message or a new phase related to creativity, such as an exciting idea or opportunity coming your way. It encourages you to be curious and optimistic, to embrace the unknown with confidence. If it represents a person, it could be someone who is eager to learn and explore (or that aspect of yourself). Upright, the Page of Wands says it’s time to follow your passion and dare to be creative, even if you’re still learning the ropes.

Reversed: The Page of Wands reversed can suggest a lack of direction or procrastination. The initial excitement of an idea might be fizzling out due to self-doubt or fear of the challenges ahead.

Try to find that spark again by removing distractions or doubts. It’s a reminder that setbacks in the beginning stages are normal – don’t let them extinguish your enthusiasm for something new.
