Introduction
The Page of Wands is an apprentice of spark: messages, experiments, and news in the fire suit. Pages are students and messengers; wands make the message lively.
Upright meaning
Upright, it can describe a class, a first demo, a curious beginner, or a note that starts something. Protect the experiment from premature scale.
Reversed meaning
Reversed, mixed messages, restless starts, or talking about a project instead of touching it. One small physical step helps.
Love
In love, flirtation, a playful text, or learning how you do desire. Infatuation is data, not a vow.
Career
At work, internships, new tools, and draft announcements. Date-stamp learning.
