King of Wands

Happy holidays 2020! I hope everyone is safe and warm and healthy this season. 
It is fitting that my final Tarot post falls on this day, on this card. I didn't not plan things that way at all. You might say it's the Universe working in my favor. I have had a lot of that this year, and this season I'm thankful for all those blessings.
​

The King of Wands is a powerful and commanding community leader, such as a political figure or CEO. The King is devoted and loyal to family, friends, and employees, but sometimes the King's competitive nature can get the best of them - tempers may flare or a gamble taken may be too big.

In the end, the King carries on with optimism no matter what.

I am taking a short holiday break, and will return very soon to talk about the Runes! They are my very favorite divination tool, because they can be made out of anything and are easy to decipher once you learn to recognize the shapes. I encourage you all to be like the King of Wands and go carve yourself some Runes. :)

The Rune of the Gregorian calendar New Year period is Ihwaz - a symbol that can not be reversed and that means timelessness and death. I hope any negativity from 2020 dies with that year, and that 2021 brings immortality and life for all of you. 

My new book, Applied Runes, is globally available in paperback now, and on Kindle on January 1, 2021!
