I. Analyze and describe 2 of Wands Thoth Tarot
This card shows the ambiguity hidden behind each symbol. We see two Vajras (Dorje), also known as Tibetan dagger that cross each other, are considered the blade of lightning indicating the divine power of the destruction of good and evil. The haft has a demon mask, expressing fear and the action to overcome it miraculously. Deeply, the dagger is a symbol of the penis and represents fertility as well as negative sexual ability. There is a pair of snakes on the blade tip that their venom can either kill or save. The snake connected with birth and death, instinct and spirituality, and then proclaim the rebirth from the previous destruction. There are six pillars of fire emanating from the intersection of two blades, not only showing the energy and power, but also expressing uncontrollable passion that tends to destroy.
II. Interpretation of 2 of Wands Thoth Tarot
1. Energy
2 of Wands Thoth card is equivalent to the initial formation of fire from the idea source that has not yet been formed at the beginning (Ace). Thus, the card describes the spontaneous flame or the free-spirited of fire, seeing demand is more important than action. It finds its mission by expressing will, not entirely by achieving its goal; at the same time, it is led by scalar capacity (Mars) to new paths where there are often many exciting development opportunities and without worrying about chaos. This is not a question of a strategic attitude or a wise wait: it is an urge to be at the forefront of everything (Mars in Aries: the Romans call it an Axis of the City, which can smash all the gates of “Aries” (the astrological name of the male sheep) besieged in the fortress).
2. Inner
This card encourages us to face the topic of violence, which is not only banned in our time but from ancient Greece, it also has been considered illegal. The double symbolism of the card is vividly portrayed from the beginning to show that even when burning and expressing violence, there are still existent benefits, which we certainly cannot have by suppressing taboos.
3. Career
We feel challenged strongly by the spirit of this card. To eliminate this pent-up attack, we must quickly prepare our minds to discuss and debate with everyone. The purpose of this energy is not peace, but an expression of a desire to fight aggressively. In this case, it is best to imitate the Olympic spirit, longing to overcome all competitions.
4. Sentiment
This card shows an attitude of “Hey, I am here already!”, wishing for a firm belief to take over something that no one can give away (“everything”). From the card’s point of view, we only see our own will and determination to conquer. Even when we try to act on behalf of others, we often do this with the false belief that the way others see the world like ours. This is true for the idealist egoist who puts himself above all.
