Three of Rods - Climb every mountain

My card for today is the Three of Rods (Wands) from the Anna K tarot. The man/boy in this card has reached the top of the mountain, bringing with him three wands. He has attained his goal only to discover there are more challenges within reach. It almost seems the first mountain was a test if he is able, strong enough, to go on. And he is!
So for me this card is about building confidence by pursuing long term goals, mountain by mountain and not  let myself be overwhelmed by the entire route
Sometimes this is the most loving thing to do for ourselves. No one would give a six year old fractions and times tables, but we know in a few years the child will be able to master them. So let’s take life challenges one step at the time too and celebrate each achievement for a moment in a four of wands state of mind, before climbing the next mountain

  1. I love your reading of this card, Ellen! Having conquered one task, we can appreciate those still to come. We don't have to climb every mountain today, but we can honour what we have done, and look forward to what we still hope to do… :)

  2. Now I've got Julie Andrews singing in my head after reading this post's title! :) I personally have to remember that I'll always have a mountain to climb, but by working on myself I can become a better mountain climber.

    1. It doesn't always have to be as difficult as to climb mountain
      When we sing the song a bit further : ford every stream (to cool the blisters) :D
      But I agree; when we keep it up. we will get better

    2. I think the dancing and singing as we do the work probably helps (channel Julie) too. :D As you said,it doesn't have to be all work and no fun.
