Romance, Love Or Relationships:
As with an upright meaning, the appearance of the Ten of Wands reversed usually signifies difficulty in an existing relationship. It may be time (or past time) that both of you lay all the cards on the table and really talk about the relationship. There is a slight possibility when this card appears that you are actually being misled or that there is infidelity involved when this card appears. Consider whether there have been changes in behavior etc., that may point to this or to other untruths that need to be faced in order for the relationship to either work on a more honest level, or to end. Hiding from the truth serves no one.
Card Meanings: Duty-Bound, No Stamina, Cleverness, Off-Loading, Insurmountable Problems, Collapse, Strength, Breakdown, Flogging A Dead Horse, Dumping, Shirking Duties/Responsibilities, Energy, Too Much Responsibility/ Stress, Learning To Say No, Working Hard But Getting Nowhere, Resigned To Fate, Not Up To The Challenge, Cross Too Heavy To Bear
The Lord of Oppression can be a tricky influence, because it indicates blocked energy and thwarted Will – both of these can work against us in our lives, causing frustration and confusion. Very often the reason that this situation arises is because we are unable to clearly communicate our feelings on a given topic, to somebody who has strong influence over our lives. We repress our inmost needs and, instead, present a bland and safe mask to the outside world. So on a day ruled by this card, there are processes you need to go through in order to work out what the problem is. First, consider whether this is a fleeting effect which will pass tomorrow or the next day. If so, then the chances are that regular use of the affirmation will clear your path. However, if you find that you’ve been feeling a bit frustrated for a while, today is the day to get to grips with that. Isolate the things that you really wish you could tell people around you who matter. Then consider why you might not be speaking your mind.
There can be many reasons for this – some of them useful and others damaging. Work out whether your silence is serving you well or ill. For instance, it’s not usually a very good idea to tell your boss that some of his habits drive you insane with frustration. If you discover that you do have unexpressed feelings in a situation where it would not be wise to express yourself out loud, then write everything down, and then vent your annoyance by ripping the paper up into several tiny pieces (don’t go directing it at the person just at the habit, action or event). That should get some of your irritation out of your system!! If you cannot express your feelings because you’re prevented by circumstance – you are out of touch with the person concerned; you’re angry and frustrated about a world event; there seems to be no possible route to the people you need to talk to ..the paper trick could work well again. Or alternatively, visualise the person/people you need to speak with, and then tell them exactly how you feel. This act can have a quirky effect in that it often produces a response from the person on the other side of the discussion!

Tarot Card Meanings: Ten of Wands; this card depicts a great burden or one who has too many projects to handle. Although a card signifying hard work it can warn of overwork or too many responsibilities leading to delay, burnout or failure. Some sources argue that the meaning represents prosperity but that which is won after much hard labor. Reversed; battling many obstacles on many fronts, exhaustion, overwhelming sense of defeat.
Portable Magic: Throughout this work you will encounter mentions of the Golden Dawn. It is important to understand its place in the Western esoteric tradition and its influence on the Tarot, since the Golden Dawn set of occult correspondences for the Tarot forms the foundation of Tarot magic. The Golden Dawn system of magic does not contain the system of Tarot magic described in this book, or anything like it, but Tarot magic relies on the Golden Dawn correspondences to support the underlying pattern upon which its basic ritual method is constructed.

Portable Magic: with enough cards a point is reached when it collapses into chaos. Three cards of realization are about the maximum that can be used effectively. It is impossible to hold three cards in the mind at once, but they can be considered successively, as a series of actions leading to the final achievement of the ritual purpose.
