The Three of Wands - Almost on my way again

Crystal Visions Tarot, Three of Wands, Jennifer Galasso
After the Ace and the Two of wands, today we have the Three of Wands from the Crystal Visions Tarot. It almost feels like a sort of drum roll before I on my way, moving forward again after being ill: First the Ace with all the expectations en choices and options; then the Two which urged me to slow down, find out what I truly want and think about how I want to pursuit it. And now in  the Three of Wands we see a woman sitting on a rock. The lake is left behind and she is watching her radiant crystal ball. She knows  what she wants, where she wants to go. Her vision is crystal clear. Her path is laid out before her and she only has to follow her star. (This star is in fact a blemish on my card J). She doesn't have to go alone on this adventure She has two animal guides to go with her: A lion cub and a little dragon. Both animals are still young and immature but when fed and played with, they can grow into fierce allies on a creative journey.  They both represent inner strength and passion which are definitely Wandsy traits, I personally have to nurture and develop more. I know they are in there, but I don’t have the guts to see them in their true appearance. In my mind they will  always stay small, similar to the two pets of this woman in the three of Wands. Maybe this card is also about gathering confidence and strength and about raising these youngsters before we are good to go. (luckily in our mindscape this can be done a lot faster then in reality)
So for today I will feed and play with my inner dragon and lion and see if they are already up to the challenge to move forward again.

  1. The sky in the background looks like our sky here this morning: the sun will be rising soon. I wonder how large that dragon and lion get if you are fighting for your girls? :D That's the problem I have; I can encourage the heck out of other people to walk that path, but I often feel undeserving when it comes to walking it myself.

    1. I guess they will look like primordial creatures evoked by anger and rage, no cute baby animals at all.
      My dear friend, We are deserving and we are entitled to the love and abundance of this life. It is right in front of us, moment by moment, each step along our way. It a a challenge to love and take care of ourselves, but we are so worth it and if you do you will see there is so much to be grateful for: And they are all gifts from Love to you

  2. Glad to hear you're feeling better, Ellen! And I love what Bev pointed out and you highlighted: that dragon and lion cub don't have to always stay small. If they can be fiercesome for your girls, they can be big and strong for you, too :D
    Hugs, Kxxx

    1. The last sentence is the most challenging but perhaps it in that challenge the most beautiful gifts can be found

  3. I have considered this deck for a good while. At first, I thought it was too feminine (maybe it is) and I didn't really like all of the artwork. But when I was in London, I handled a copy and got a strong feeling from it (not something I usually get). I left it but went back to the shop later. It was gone.

    Still not entirely sure if it is for me, but I am glad to see you using it here. If the opportunity arrives again, I will probably get it.

    1. I like working with it. To be honest the backgrounds and the back are what drew me to the deck in the first place. Some of the figures are a bit simply drawn, a bit off, but all things considered it is a lovely and very feminine deck. Not to much to chew on, but for me it is evocative enough due to the colorful settings and beautiful skies (And I love purple :D)
