The Rider Waite Tarot The Two’s
The twos are the first depiction of multiple forces in each suite and they ask us to consider what happens when two separate entities come together. This question has a number of outcomes as we all can confirm. Sometimes unions are harmonious, blessed with the magic of instant connection and shared experiences. And sometimes unions are frightening, less between two personalities and more between parts of ourselves. In contrast to the singularity and power of the aces, twos are all about the themes of duality and connection. One may be the loneliest number, but it’s easy to identify. As we move into plurality things quickly become interesting and deliciously complex.
The Rider Waite Tarot Suit of Wands
The Suit of Wands is associated with primal energy, spirituality, inspiration, determination, strength, intuition, creativity, ambition and expansion, original thought and the seeds through which life springs forth. Wands deal with the spiritual level of consciousness and mirror what is important to you at the core of your being. Wands are also indicative of all things that you do during the day to keep you busy, be it working at the office, home or the great outdoors. Wands have to do with movement, action and initiatives and the launching of new ideas. They may be indicative of a never-ending Ideas List’ or To Do List’, whereby the client has many projects on the go to keep them busy. The negative aspects of the Suit of Wands include illusion, egotistical behaviour, impulsiveness, a lack of direction or purpose, or feeling meaningless.

Book Details
Complete Book of Tarot: When upright, the Two of Wands suggests that you are pondering a course of action or deciding on a future path your life will take. The young man on the card is contemplating a globe with a stance of self-assurance. Traditionally this card represented dark thoughts and sorrow. It reminds Waite of the sorrow of Alexander the Great amidst the grandeur of this worlds wealth. Modern interpretations view the Two of Wands as a card of fortune, grandeur, dominion, and influence over others. Perhaps it encompasses both meanings simultaneously. You may feel a sense of sadness as you contemplate a potential future course of action. The number two is related to partnerships, collaboration, and making important choices, which usually involve a sense of loss in giving up something to pursue another goal that you desire.
Complete Book of Tarot: According to the Golden Dawn, several major arcana are associated with the element Water and the watery suit of Cups. These include:
Portable Magic: At once release your will to be united with the other person. Direct it with your right hand and arm as though casting forth a glowing lance of white fire from your heart centre through the centre of the triangle of golden light that floats upon the air above the raised dais of the three elemental trumps. Feel yourself snatch the fiery lance of your will out of your heart centre and fling it through the centre of the triangle. Visualize the upright astral triangle filling with bright radiance.
