This video will talk about the mythical story behind the suit of wands and the mythic Tarot. But first, the suit of wands represents growth and development, action, beginnings, the element of fire, the season of spring, the direction of South or the zodiac signs Aries, Leo and Sagittarius. So the suit of wands in the numbered cards represents a story of Jason and the Argonauts and their expedition to seek the Golden Fleece. The story is actually kind of a quest, where the hero has to rely on different things to like rational thought. And it's basically about overcoming obstacles and using the imagination. So in the story, there's actually several characters, which is why I'm providing links to all the stories so that you can look further into it if you choose, but the story goes that he asks for help.

He recruits a bunch of help, and they set out on a quest to find this golden fleece. And obviously, there are many challenges along the way and help along the way that you see in the five of ones where they're fighting the dragon to get the Golden Fleece, and they are victorious, and they get the golden seat. On the journey back, they run into obstacles on the way back, just as they had obstacles on the way to the goal, as you can see in the seven of wands, and the eight of wands, but in the eight of wands, you can also see that there are calm waters ahead. Unfortunately, in this story, in the end, the victory got to his head, and he ended up all alone with his golden fleece, which really lets us know that we really do need to be humbled at times.

And now we come to the court cards of the suit. One starting with the king of wands, who is the king Theseus of Athens, who took part in the quest for the Golden Fleece. Next the queen of Wands is Queen Penelope, wife of a Theseus a bit the cup. The next is the knight of Wands who is the hero, the lira font who mastered the Wild Wings for Pegasus. And lastly, the page of ones is frixion, who was part of the quest for the Golden Fleece as well.
