Seven of Wands

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

On the card

A figure on high ground fends off six wands rising from below, wearing mismatched boots.

Upright

  • Standing ground
  • Defence
  • Conviction

The high ground is the advantage and the mismatched boots are the cost. Traditionally holding a position that is worth holding.

Reversed

  • Overwhelmed
  • Giving way
  • Needless fight

Reversed, the position is lost or was never worth the defending — worth asking which of the two this is.

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.
