Card 1
Ace of Wands
Minor · Wands
Description
A hand from a cloud holds a sprouting wand. New leaves on the staff, a castle far off, mountains between. The Ace of Wands is the spark before the project. The creative pull that comes from somewhere you can't name. Fire, just lit.

Upright Meanings
A new spark. Project, passion, the thing you've been describing to friends for months. The Ace of Wands says start. Not plan more. Start. Action builds the fire. Sitting with the idea lets it die.
Reversed Meanings
The spark is there but won't catch. Delays, distractions, a hundred small things between you and the work. Or the energy's just low. The fire isn't dead. It's not lit yet. Don't punish yourself for the wait.
Numerology
1 (The Origin: the starting point, the seed, opportunity)
