Ace of Wands

the match is lit. that's it.
upright — what she sees
sparkfirst moveinspiration
the match is lit. that's it. drawn upright, ace of wands speaks of spark, first move, inspiration. she reads it as a turning toward the thing, not away from it — inspiration made plain.
reversed — what she withholds
false startdelaydoubt
the spark caught. you blew it out yourself. reversed, the card turns inward — false start, delay, doubt. not a curse. a closed door you keep your own hand on.
in a spread
in the daily veil, ace of wands is the day's temperature — upright it asks you to lean in, reversed it asks what you're bracing against. in a three-card line it colours past, present, or the thing approaching. draw it yourself and she'll read it for you, in your own words.
