The Knight of Wands card from the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot

On the card

An armoured rider in a salamander tabard spurs a rearing horse forward, wand raised, desert and pyramids behind.

Upright

  • Drive
  • Adventure
  • Haste

All forward motion — traditionally the card of throwing yourself at something. It asks whether the pace is chosen or simply happening.

Reversed

  • Impulse
  • Burnout
  • Fits and starts

Read reversed, the drive turns costly: haste without direction, or a fire that has burned through its own fuel.

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.
