Living the Page of Wands

Page of Wands

 

This is a card about tapping into your inner fire, your inner creativity. It is also a page (Prince/Princess) which means it is a phase of life where there is a lot of learning. Specifically the page of wands talks about learning how to take baby steps towards understanding your inner fire and your creative side.

I have lived this card a number of times but my favourite memory of this card would have to be the time when I pulled it in response to what actions I should be taking towards my work, my tarot reading venture when I initially started out on this journey. I was in Delhi and thinking of making my way into the mountains when I had pulled this card. My biggest worry about this journey was the lack of financial stability. Listening to this card I took my leap of faith and started my journey. Through out this journey I learnt new ways to promote myself as a tarot reader. to get my work out there in an attempt to help people connect with their deepest selves. I made a lot of mistakes through this process, like not knowing how to charge people for the work I was doing for them. I also did not have an idea of where, what kind of places, I could be setting up at for doing my work.

Listening to this card I tried multiple different ways to charge people for the work I was doing, starting from donation basis work. People, like me did not know how to value my work and the payment structures were very inconsistent. Even though I managed my survival through this, there was a deep lack of satisfaction when my work was undervalued. Moved into trying to charge a fixed price for my reading but the valuation I set on my work was low and again dissatisfactory, the reasoning for charging a lower amount was to find consistent work, but what I did not realise back then was that I was putting in way too much effort for the returns. They I increased the Energy exchange for my work and suddenly event though I was valuing my work better, there was a lack of consistency. Later on I learnt how to put in/ create the right structure to do justice for myself as well as my clients.

I tried setting up my tables at events, at cafes on regular days as well as at music festivals. Some suited me some did not suit me at all. In today’s time I rarely setup my tarot tables, but rather fix up sessions for a different time and place to find the optimum reading to benefit my clients.

If I had not gone through this page of pentacles energy, I would have been chasing perfection and just might have even dropped reading tarot and doing spiritual work something that I truly love and satisfies my soul. This card taught me that it if fine to make mistake, what truly matters is following through with my creativity, if it will work on not, time will tell, just got to learn from my mistakes. I followed my passions, my dreams and desires to make them a reality, and the journey of the page of pentacles is not over yet, it keeps popping up time to time in different areas of my life teaching me to create structure, art, self-love and my independence. I followed through with my passion, my inner fire and lead my life into a beautiful direction. This card could also indicate working on your passions on the side to keep your soul satisfied!
