Wands

Wands aren’t just about wielding the power of creation and manifestation, there is also a lot of movement and motivation within them. That’s why we start to see more cards relating to physical movement such as travel, in the suit of the wands. 

This suit gives us a boost of energy. It’s like when we randomly have the urge to clean the entire house for no reason. We get this influx of fiery energy that requires us to move and burn through it so it doesn’t consume us.

Twos

The number two within the realm of numerology is all about duality and balance. With the number two we are trying to create a delicate harmony. It requires a lot of consistent adjusting, like that of a weighted scale. 

In terms of the Tow of Wands, we are faced with a very precarious balance that needs to be struck. We have to take action but in a way that doesn’t completely burn the bridges of the other path open to us.
