The Ace of Wands is a Tarot card of the Minor Arcana, arcana being Latin for mysteries. The cards of the minor arcana are considered to be lesser compared to the major arcana because they discuss the minor mysteries of life, less important archetypes. (''Mystical Origins of the Tarot'' ) Modern Tarot readers interpret the Ace of Wands as a symbol of optimism and invention. ==Introduction== Tarot's pictorial symbolism embodies intellectual, moral, and spiritual ‘lessons’ constituting collective human experiences across times, places and cultures. Tarot establishes this much sought after connection between ‘self’ and ‘other’ akin to the famous ‘I-Thou’ relation in Martin Buber’s metaphysics. The ace card in a deck is considered the trump card. This card in a reading signifies success in all aspects. The success is backed by luck. This combination of success backed by hard work and luck is what forms the basis of the Ace card in the Tarot deck. The element of the wands suit is fire. The key words are Passion, New Ventures, Success, good luck.〔 〕 Therefore wands are enthusiastic, inspirational, and spiritually minded. Wands correspond to the zodiacal signs Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius. The four suits, related to the modern hearts, clubs, diamonds, and spades, are swords, cups, pentacles, and wands.〔Shepard A., Leslie (1991) Encyclopedia of Occultism & Parapsychology, Third Edition, Volume 2, ISBN 0-8103-4916-7.〕 An Ace-Ace pair shows that a new spirit is entering your life. It draws on the energy of the Ace of Wands: creativity, excitement, adventure, courage, personal power.〔http://www.learntarot.com/wa.htm〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ace of Wands (Tarot card)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
