Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot Card Definitions & Meaning

Ace of Wands

The Ace of Wands is Tarot card of the Minor Arcana. Tarot cards are used throughout much of Europe to play Tarot card games[1] in which the cards are similar to the playing cards more common in English-speaking countries. In these regions, where Tarot games are largely unknown, the cards have come to be used primarily for divinatory purposes[1][2]. Modern Tarot readers interpret the Ace of Wands as a symbol of optimism and invention.[3].
