Six of Wands
Meanings
The triumphant return. Recognition for your accomplishments. An undisputed success – popularity and critical acclaim. Bask in the glow, you deserve it.
Reversed (?)
A chink in your armor. Loss of self-confidence may result in a challenge to your reputation. Hold your ground – you know you deserve the credit for your skills, do not let others undermine you.
Description
A young man in armor wearing a laurel victory wreath holds a flag emblazoned with a stag's head affixed to a sprouting wand. Behind him, another cavalier stands holding a wand topped by another laurel wreath. Four more wands are held aloft. A servant leads away a grey horse.
