The Pictorial Key to the Tarot

Wands
ThreeA calm, stately personage, with his back turned, looking from a cliff’s edge at ships passing over
the sea. Three staves are planted in the ground, and he leans slightly on one of them. Divinatory
Meanings: He symbolizes established strength, enterprise, effort, trade, commerce, discovery;
those are his ships, bearing his merchandise, which are sailing over the sea. The card also signifies
able co-operation in business, as if the successful merchant prince were looking from his side
towards yours with a view to help you. Reversed: The end of troubles, suspension or cessation of
adversity, toil and disappointment.
