Journeying towards a goal, a great undertaking, speeding to reward with hope and momentum.
With but the puff of a breath, she sends the seedlings on their way. It is the ending of the lovely flower that blooms so delicately into elaborate spheres of ethereal beauty, but the beginning of a new growth. The seeds spin away on the wild winds -- at the mercy of entropy, but sailing with purpose on their gossamer filaments. Sail away and beyond, and then set down to grow to become a mighty tree!

This card shows a delicate figure standing on a cliff, wearing an orange gown and a lavender-colored breastplate or corset/bodice. She holds a staff-sized twig, and blows away the tufts of a dandelion gone to seed. She is flanked by foxes, tree trunks with faces, and underground beneath her feet: a green figure in a bubble, curled in a foetal position, as the roots of a green-stemmed shape reach into the bubble.
The RWS if I recall doesn't have a face in this card, but here the fairy woman stands. I think of the RWS 8-Wands as a warning for an attack or surprise development. To put a face to the energy leads me to consider that swiftness and complexity is part of a cycle of life, to roll with the punches so to speak, for there will be many but that's no cause to lose our wits.
