From Touchstone TarotTM by Kat Black
Two of Wands
Meanings
And yet, you yearn. Although you have the world in the palm of your hand, fulfillment is still out of reach. You may build an empire, but then feel trapped within it.
Reversed (?)
The tide is turning. Time to set sail for new adventures, leaving behind your worldly comforts and social position.
Description
A woman in a sumptuous, billowing red velvet gown sits on a balcony staring out to sea. In front of her sits a globe of the world. Her ash-blonde hair is held back high on her head in an ornately dressed bun. She holds one sprouting wand in her left hand and another sits behind her against the wall.
