Cosmic Tribe Tarot

SEVEN OF WANDS

Courage

Yelling, screaming chaos is unleashed. Horns honk, sirens wall. What are you going to do? Reason flies out the window and confusion storms the streets. Your most precious beliefs are under attack by the very forces you assumed were supporting you. Your blood is boiling. Red lights and danger accost your senses. The barricades are up. The smell of smoke . . . Will you join the fight for your beliefs, risking comfort and safety? Your heart pounds in answer.

In the card a figure stands in a fiercely proud pose. He has the head of a lion and the muscular torso of a man. He is in the throes of fiery passion. Not afraid of going through the ring of fire, he grabs it with his bare hands and thrusts it over his shoulders in triumph. The enemy is conquered! The victor is deep belief allied with savage instinct. The figure believes his cause to be just, and his mane burns fervently with animal passion. Above him seven wands enflame the array of ideals he proudly displays to the world.

Around him the card blazes in red and gold for the passion of blood and the treasure of belief.

Should the Seven of Wands burn your reading, take courage. All around you the world is bursting with opportunities for passionate involvement. What gets your heart racing? What do you believe in passionately? What will get you to risk your safety and comfort for a chance to make history? Get out of the house and find out. Expose yourself to the world. Put your ideas out at every opportunity and see how people respond to them. When they love them, soak in the adulation. When they hate them, stand tall knowing that you have elicited a response in them that might get their fires burning. Either way you can broaden people's horizons. Your passions are clues of where you could be going and what you could he doing. Listen to them, nurture them, and stand up for them when the time comes to do so.
