I. Six of Wands Rider Waite image description
The Six of Wands depicts a man wearing a laurel wreath on his head, riding a white horse through the crowd cheering. On the card, the white horse symbolizes the power, purity and success of an adventure; and crowds of people express recognition for the accomplishments of the men. The stick in his hand also has a wreath, again emphasizing the success which he has achieved. He is not afraid to show others what he has done in his life so far, and happily, all people around are cheering for this hero.
This card is a version of the Chariot in the Minor Arcana. Both of these cards represent the winning moments. Sometimes, in life, all we want is victory, becoming a person standing on top and becoming a number one. You can see this dream lingering on the faces of athletes, politicians and other winners as they step into the hall of honor. It is the most valuable feeling in everything. I am the best. I have won!
Six of Wands also shows a healthy sense of self-confidence. Being satisfied with your accomplishments is an important part of success, but being too proud can lead to arrogance and complacency. When you see this card, you should review yourself to make sure that you do not feel like you are the most outstanding of them all. It is easy to forget the fact that personal achievement is not always achieved by the individual his/herself. Our talents begin with the Creator, they grow with love and support of others, and ultimately manifest through us. And then how we can allow ourselves to be so over-proud?
Pride is the first and greatest sin we must overcome by touching our souls with paradise. When this card appears, you should enjoy the victory and feel good about yourself, but remember not to become arrogant.
