As we also lost the previous thread on the Two of Wands, I have reposted it so we can get back into our discussion on this card.

Two of Wands - Dominion
From my notes from the 78 Week Study:
The Two of Wands in the Thoth is called "Dominion". In the image of this card there are what looks like tongues of flame / fire emanating from the centre of the two crossed wands, like there is energy and power and the wands have control over this energy source. However as the wands are crossed over in two different directions - one pointing one way and one another - it makes me think that they have to decide which way to go. Sort of a power struggle to decide which way to go to direct the energy in one direction before progress can be made. "Dominion" can mean sovereignty, control or supremacy. Gaining control over the energy to direct it in a positive way.
Remembering from the previous posts, the two wands are tibetan daggers, representing thunderbolts - not sure if I am remembering this correctly.
I have also been looking at the background of this card with its sort of 'speckled' appearance, which sort of looks like a showering of sparks or embers everywhere, almost like the spray around an erupting volcano or lava flow. Not that I have seen one of these up close of course! but more from pictures / films I have seen - any info or thoughts on this?

PS. Have attached a pic of the card for easy reference.
