Five of Wands

Obstacles; opposition.

Five robed magicians (some men, some women) are battling each other with their wands. Flashes of magickal energy come from the wands, as the magicians either defend themselves or attack others. These magicians represent two types of people in the world: those who are overly ambitious and jealous of what others accomplish, and those who must learn to defend themselves against such attacks by others. Jealous people often attack those who have worked hard and gained positive things from their efforts; unfortunately it is a common human failing. Life is difficult enough (symbolized by the rocky landscape and twisted tree roots), without complicating it with unnecessary battles brought on by misunderstandings, jealousy, and twisted ethics. Only a cool head, spiritual guidance, and resistance to foes will help balanced person win the day. Tiny Air dragons dart above them, their fiery breath intermingling with flashes of energy. They represent the astral guardians who try to bring peace to such a situation.

Divinatory Meaning: Obstacles and opposition from others may complicate your life; you will have to struggle to overcome this.. Harmful gossip could damage your reputation and/or ccareer. You may find yourself in trouble with the law.
