I feel like I have to mention this every time lol. Yes, I will plan to make an actual tarot deck when this is complete. But it's a long way to go so please bear with me. 🥰
Reversed: Impatience, recklessness, haste, lack of direction/self discipline, delays, frustration
The Knight of Wands signifies passion and a desire to progress; perhaps to hone a skill to impress others, to work on a passion project, or to make a life-changing leap. However, the Knight can often be impulsive and hasty in the pursuit of their goals, and must temper their enthusiasm with patience and practicality. In this episode, Luz finds herself frustrated at the fact that despite having been on the Boiling Isles for a few weeks, she really only knows one spell, which isn't enough to pass the Hexside entrance exam. She's always dreamed of being a witch, and is ready and willing to work as hard as it takes to become one, but is impeded by her lack of a bile sack and by Eda's less-than-conventional teaching style. To top it all off, Luz desperately wants to impress Amity and her siblings with her magical prowess. So, she gives in to her impulses and uses Amity's training wand to cast a spell, unknowingly depleting the battery and angering a nearby Slitherbeast. Her friends' lives are in danger, and she is forced to slow down and take Eda's advice instead of rushing in and doing her own thing. This pause allows her to find the ice glyph, which helps her save Eda, Emira, and Edric, but also shows her the right path to pursue to achieve her dream.

We are halfway through the of Folk and Fable Tarot Kickstarter, which means we get to share our full cards!
The second of my two cards is the Knight of Fire/Wands, which is a card of passion, impulsivity, and action!
For this card, I illustrated the Red Ghost, the true story of a mysterious red-furred beast with a headless, skeletal rider that terrified the Arizona frontier in the late 1800s. (It ended up being a crazed camel with a corpse strapped to its back, and there were many impulsive actions around the incident.)
We've already hit full funding and all the stretch goals, and we still have until July 6, 2023.
Commissions are open!
Image ID:
An illustration done largely in shades of red, depicting a monstrous, empty-eyed camel and its rider. The camel is in motion, seemingly charging towards the audience, its eyes reflecting light like a cat’s. the rider is a bare, headless skeleton, sitting bareback on the camel’s hump, one arm holding to its mount and the other stretched overhead, carrying its own flaming skull. They are flanked by the Arizona desert, the land rocky and uneven silhouetted by buttes in the distant hills, and framed by a large, blood red-moon that hangs in a dark, star-filled sky.
How is anyone supposed to not love Catherine Zeta Jones as Velma Kelly? I don't know. I certainly can't. So here is she, another card in my tarot, as the Knight of Wands.
(if you're wondering where's the horse- the horse is the guy. Seemed in character.)
And now, the usual explanation. Right under the cut, for the curious!
Upright, the Knight of Wands is all about energy and passion. You have a clear vision of what you want to create, fuelled by your inspiration, and are now moving forward with leaps and bounds to turn your vision into reality. Even if that include maybe murdering your husband and sister (they had it coming, really), lying in court, or teaming with an ennemy. In your defense, said ennemy is hot. You are a bold person, willing to venture into unknown territories. You don't really care if danger lies ahead- in fact, if it does, then it becomes all the more exciting and thrilling for you. Nothing can stop you from achieving what you want! Others see you as highly charismatic, and might want to be in your presence to benefit from your energy. You are not good with bringing said others along with you on the journey, but you do enjoy the extra attention. You can maybe, perhaps, just a little, be quite impulsive- acting first, thinking later. Whoops, number 17, Spread Eagle? Dang. Now you're covered in blood. It's alright, it suits you. You're a jazz killer, my dear. All for the razzle dazzle. Perhaps, next time, take a moment to think before acting.
Reversed means that you're pursuing a personnal passion. Dancing? Singing? Maybe. It's up to you, and the fire that has been lit within you. You know that you are destined for something big, but you may be restricted from taking action right now. Are you perhaps in jail for just two little murders? Very possible. Are you being overshadowed by your pretty, talented rival? Probably. You are being restrained, which may cause frustration to grow; you want to do everything at the same time, and can't complete anything in your rush. You take actions on the spot and might regret it later.
The Knight of Wands remind you that there will be things that you can control, despite all of that, and change as you want- you just have to find them.
And that's it for today! I doubt many people will see this, but hey, you, yes, you who are reading me right now- thank you. I hope you liked it ;)
