Hello I'm Amelia Hruby and you're listening to my tiny Tarot practice. today's card is the king of Wands.

In the Rider Waite Smith illustration of the tarot the king of Wands is like all of the Kings Seated on a throne.

Looking at a head holding a wand in this case cloaked in a red,

gown a yellow cape a green mantle with a Golden Crown above their head.

And the king of wind features the salamanders that we saw on the Knight of Wands but where those salamanders heads did not reach their tail in there circling motion these do we've come to the completion of the wands cycle.

The king
The King Of Wands then is the maturation of Fire.

It's the end of this fiery Journey that we've been on,

from the 80s to the 10 the page to the king the Journey of our creative Force are.

Energetic Force our sexual Force our desires
in our lives
and in our society.

The king of Wands then becomes the ruler of these desires or a leader in this way and I really enjoy how.

Rachel Pollock and 78 degrees of wisdom talks about how the kings are where success meets social responsibility,

and so with the king of Wands we have creative success

the Mastery perhaps of our Creative Energy and desire and fire meeting the social responsibility of tending to our communal and Collective flames

guiding our creative energies of supporting our sexual desire.

All of that comes up in the king of Wands and I think that's also a Rachel Pollock says that the king of Wands is a very confident leader

right you know all of the wands things the creativity that energy the sexuality they bring a lot of charisma

the king of Wands if you know someone in your life who really has that life that life force is so strong in them and they draw people toward the magnetically as a result of that it's a very King Of Wands figure,

and some of us become the king of Wands at different moments in our lives and that's a really beautiful position to to hold,

where you are channeling your life force and exuding that energy.

And in this relationship with it of success and social responsibility.

For me.

I really like to I don't feel that way that often I'll be honest so I like to channel the king of Wands when I'm trying to Channel A lot more self Trust.

Because the king of Wands has managed to connect their creative energetic Force Life Force to.

The world,

they're like it's like beat goes beyond them now it exude it as I said before and so often I either struggle to find my life create a force of myself

I struggle to materialize it in the world I struggle to share it with others and the king of Wands has no no.

Problem or blockage with that flow of force and so in moments when I'm struggling to trust myself,

when I'm struggling to share my convictions my beliefs my creativity I like to channel the king of Wands as a reminder of self-trust.

And of social responsibility,

because the king of Wands gone awry is someone whose life force and Creative Energy can totally demolish everyone around them right can just run people over much like fire,

when out-of-control can do the same but that's not the nature of the king of Wands the king of Wands has a much more inflow and.

Empathetic I would even say or like socially responsible way of channeling and exude in their Force.

People trust them as a leader that's when we trust ourselves in that way a trusted leader.

So I like to channel the king of Wands when I need to be my own trusted leader.

Particularly when it comes to energy and creativity.
