I. The meaning of the Nine of Wands Shadowscapes Tarot
The guards observed from above, always in a state of alert and cautious. They are the Eternal Guardians, guarding the mysterious forces hidden in the abyss – whether it is light, mist or as far as the edge of the world, nothing can go beyond their sight. They understood that it was their duty and responsibility to guard, paying particular attention to the West, where the light withered and died at the end of the day.
When the golden rays and the green of leaves raise a farewell, what would happen to the abyss when the night comes? Are the guards strong enough to withstand that onslaught? In fact, they have never experienced this. Every day, at the moment of transition between twilight and night, they waited for the unnamed enemies, straining their eyes to the dark West, wondering what would happen at night. They are always easy to take pride in, keep their heads high and pay attention when the sun is still shining on their shoulders. But things started to get harder at the peaceful twilight. Although somewhat delusional, they still maintain their stance because one day, something will happen to prove that their thinking is completely right.
