Three of Wands
A man kneels on the banks of the river, stoking a small fire. He feeds wildflowers into the smoldering embers, their evocative fragrance floating into the atmosphere and melding with the still, expectant twilight. A contented smile spreads across his face. His simple ritual transmutes the worldly beauty back into the air.

upright meaning:
sustained growth • foresight • progress
After the initial whoosh of intensity, thoughtful maintenance is required to keep a fire burning. Painstaking placement of the kindling will nurture the flames into longevity. So too must an incipient vision be fed and sustained. Your idea is starting to catch. Don’t rage into a blaze or douse yourself unnecessarily with doubt or dismay. Small victories and careful progress suggest you are succeeding.
~
reversed meaning:
external obstacles • lack of foresight • delays
Sometimes, no matter how carefully you arrange the kindling, a fire just won’t light. It defies your efforts and stubbornly remains a cold, lifeless pile of wood and ash. Continuing this effort will only exhaust you, and your vision of the crackling, healing blaze is just not meant to be. Reevaluate your strategy and take a different approach. There are a lot of ways to get warm, and if this isn’t working for you, dust off your hands and walk away.
