The lion headed Ace of Wands literally has a fire in its belly and the glyph of fire on its chest. The activity of this suit is clear in the face of the creature. The card represents it suit of Wands with element of fire and the fixed sign of Leo. The feeling of this card is rather strained – or better still, like the Swords, restrained. The hands are crossed above the head as if they were bound, but they are not. The creature’s wildness seems to be held in check by an invisible force. The body bearing both male and female features is a little emaciated – hungry?
The wings are white with red tips and chevrons marking them as if scarred or dipped in blood/fire?
There is a general commentary on the Aces as a group and their commonalities here.
Thoughts?
