Page of Wands ~ Overcoming Fear!

Tarot Tuesday! The card for the week is the Page of Wands, representing: Courage, strength, overcoming fear and new beginnings.

In many decks the Page of Wands is pictured with a Tiger or wearing its pelt. (For Tarot Tuesday, I used a Chinese zodiac paper cutout that was recently gifted to me.) In symbolism, the tiger is associated with personal strength and overcoming fears. It is a sign of fierce courage and determination.

In Chinese mythology, the tiger presents the awakening of new power, passion and a talisman for casting away evil spirits…(just in case you need it for Halloweenie!)

The Page of Wands is the Child of Fire, associated with Spring and New Beginnings. It represents creative energy, especially in regards to starting new projects. By conquering our fears, we are freed to experience new opportunities. And when fear is transformed, love takes it’s place, again opening us up to a more profound experience of life.

This card reminds me of that Katy Perry song Roar—”I’ve got the eye of a tiger, hear me ROAR!” An appropriate sentiment here. So this week, be fiercely courageous and meet any obstacles head on. Know that by doing so—new opportunities will come your way!

The mantra for the Page of Wands is: I embrace life fearlessly!

Happy Halloween!
