Eight of Wands

Fire · Wands
The Eight of Wands card from the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot

On the card

Eight wands fly in parallel through open sky above a river and green country, nobody in sight.

Upright

  • Speed
  • Momentum
  • News

The only card in the deck with no figure on it — traditionally movement already under way. It asks what is in flight that you can no longer call back.

Reversed

  • Hold-up
  • Rush
  • Crossed wires

Read reversed, the flight is interrupted: hold-ups, or motion so fast that what was sent was not the thing meant.

About this deck

The artwork is the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot, drawn by Pamela Colman Smith to Arthur Edward Waite's direction and first published in 1909. It has passed into the public domain, which is why it can be shown here in full — but it is her work, and the reason this deck became the one nearly every other deck answers to.
