Tarot Wands
The 14 Cards of the Tarot Wands Suit and Their MeaningsWands Archetype: Materialism — earthly matters. Wands correspond to Clubs in a regular deck of cards. Their Greek element is earth. They stand for everything earth-bound and concrete. In the four classes of feudal society, this suit is linked to that of agriculture, the peasants.
When a Wands card appears in a reading, its message is concrete: something to do or something done, work and struggle but also their reward in palpable results. Here are the 14 cards of the Wands suit and what they mean in Tarot card divination (click the card image to see a larger version of it):

ArchetypeDrastic material change.
A. E. Waite's description of the card
