I. Four of Wands Rider Waite image description
The Four of Wands card describe a couple dancing under a wreath hanging among four sticks. This wreath is similar to the kind that used in traditional Jewish ceremonies and therefore, it represents the time spent completing work and the satisfaction with achieving a goal. Surrounding them is a group of people, and behind them is a large castle which is also decorated with flowers. It seems to be a celebration, an opportunity to return home or a celebration from within the castle.
Do you still remember the feeling of nervousness as a child seeing a birthday cake with sparkling candles? Or the feeling of waiting in suspense for your turn of the roller coaster? Or the wait for a date first? These excited feelings are the core spirit of this card. As a child, we often have little control over our joys. Of course, as we grow older, we still have this feeling because they have not completely left us. In each of us still, have an excited child waiting to be escaped.
4 of Wands Rider Waite usually means freedom. Freedom can be expressed in many forms but always brings a sense of fun. When we break the chains that tie us, whether physical, mental or emotional, we feel joyful and can step into a new stage of development and happiness. If you feel constrained or limited at the present time, use the power of this card to free yourself. Do not hesitate to ask for the prospect of wide open that is rightfully yours.
