Description

Rider Waite Deck

The eight wands are shown passing through the air,parallel and angled downward,against a blue sky above a green landscape through which a river flows,with a large structure on a hill on the far side of the river.Waite's "description" in The Pictorial Key to the Tarot is,"The card represents motion through the immovable--a flight of wands through an open country;but they draw to the term of their course.That which they signify is at hand;it may be even on the threshold."
