Magical Nature Tarot

There are currently two versions of the Four of Wands. Version one is on the left and version two is on the right. Feel free to work with the image that feels right to you. Guiding words/ideas and Channeled guidance work for both versions. Plant and metal guidance is listed differently for version one and version two.

Guiding words/ideas:

Pausing and celebrating the journey thus far; appreciating what has manifested; moving into the next phase in a fortified and replenished state; appreciating abundance and support.

Channeled guidance:

The Four of Wands is about pausing on one’s path and celebrating. You are doing so well, and you deserve a break and a small celebration to enjoy all the beautiful vibrations you are contributing to the world.

This personal party may be a festive moment in the company of other beings or a quiet and solitary ritual. Either way, this moment is an honoring of you and your path. There is more terrain to travel and so much more to learn, but it is time to acknowledge all that has manifested thus far. This will allow you to move into your next chapter in a fortified and replenished state.

In the succession of Wands, this card comes after the spark (Ace), preparation (Two), and stepping into action (Three). The Four of Wands recognizes how much energy has gone into the three previous stages. Now you can look up, open out, gain perspective, and appreciate the abundance and support given to you from the planet and the spiritual world.
