Pamela Coleman Smith’s drawing in the RWS deck doesn’t do much to illustrate the aspect of choice as much as other cards do, although one can argue that the Garden of Eden setting with the snake coiled around the apple tree depicts the first consequential choice made by humans, so the choice aspect is implied.

The Daily Draw: 7 of Wands Reversed
Some things are worth fighting for and other things, not so much. With this card reversed, there’s a chance that the fight might be more trouble than it’s worth.
The Daily Draw: The Lovers
The Lovers say “I see you. I see all of you. I accept you. I love you for who you are, not who you might be or what your potential is but you, just you.”

The Daily Draw: Nine of Wands
Thriving Through Challenge It has been a demanding week. A new project that seems to require too much work in too short amount of time, trying to find a new place to live with two weeks left to go (on paper anyway), the usual bustle of living with four small children, two of who areContinue reading “The Daily Draw: Nine of Wands”
