I drew only cards we've covered, so I cut the deck and this card came up. I so admire Graham's wonderful personal touches. I love the name Invisible Surgeon, and I like how the Surgeon is himself the third wand guiding the other two wands (stilts) and those who are "attached to" them, ie: depend upon his leadership- those hopeful, trusting looking dolls. His nose seems to point boldly forward, his hat perhaps denotes scholarship, or maybe it is in the style of Marco Polo's time and symbolizes exploration. His white outfit shows his purity of intention, and his height an elevated, far-seeing vision that encompasses a broader view-and bigger picture- than his dolls can see.
Graham's booklet says: "Stilt-walking around the circus tent, the Invisible Surgeon again leads the way by his own example. He moves dolls around the tent by attaching them to his stilts. A character with great originality, he teaches how important it is to take the first step. He demonstrates a purposeful determination, and practices what he preaches.
Divinitory Meaning: The Three of Wands represents the principle of leadership, showing the way.
Reverse Meaning: Not practicing what we preach, lack of drive."
