PAMUYA
I am calling it Tarot 101 because as a beginner to tarot, I need to start from the basics, and get a base understanding of the cards and suits. I am trying to really look at the card and feel it's meaning. What I was taught in class dosen't always fit what I see in the card. Sometimes I look at a card and it takes me places, gives me feelings, or I see a certain person. My mother told me to always go with my feelings, but tarot is different than her readings off of regular playing cards. This is where I am feeling lost, do I go with my gut feelings, or learned meanings, or a combo of both. Can't ask my Mom, she is gone..so I am here. I don't want generations of card readers to die with her. I find puting pen to paper, or in this case fingers to keyboard, putting my thoughts in my own words is a great learning tool.
So here I sit with the Page of Wands card in front of me, this is what I see:
Page of Wands
"I am always growing and learning" Greer
I see a young man (person) standing and holding his wand as if admiring it. His attire is yellow and gold in color (intelligence, creative talent), lizards/salamanders are on his shirt (vision, enlightenment, rebirth, renewal).
Question about salamanders see post: http://www.tarotforum.net/showthread.php?p=1537404#post1537404
He wears a blue hat with a red feather, why his mismatch in color?? He stands in a barren landscape with three mountain peaks in the background. I know that wands are “fire” so the barren landscape but the mountains puzzle me. Are these Mountains or pyramids.

Is the Wand calling to him? What creative ideas are coming to mind? I get a sense of adolescence sexuality in this card.
Direct: Creative Spark, conception of an idea, seeking passion in your life, Message of job/career, As a person: good communicator, confident, courageous, daring, spontaneous, one who appears in your life as a creative spark
Reversed: Misleading information, bad news, As a person: cannot communicate/get your point across, superficial, theatrical, cruel, domineering, risky actions
