4 of Wands shows four winged fairies at work in a small garden plot. They each
wear a sun hat decorated with a wreath of leaves. The tools they need are
scattered on the ground around them. The plot of dirt is brown and awaiting the
arrival of seeds or plants. Surrounding the plot is a yard of thick spring green
grass. Bushes bursting with color and blooming with life take up one part of the
yard. A wooden fence stretches across the property. And two slim trees provide
shade in another corner. You can barely see the faces of the gardeners because
they are so focused and intent on their work.
The Book says: This card depicts the planting of new wisdom and the
reconstruction of an intuitive foundation. The fairies pictured in this card represent
springtime, when new planting takes place and a new season of Sun and sprouting
awaits. In your life, new ideas area seeding themselves. Prepare your life for
the fruits that you will bear. Plant your creativity and watch it grow.
Bee's Buzz: A card of work and play, how interesting is that. While all 4
fairies are focused on their tasks they seem exude a sense of camaraderie, of
happiness and serenity at being in each other's company. They are industriously
working at their tasks and seem to be content with the company. Each focuses on
their own task but they are combining their efforts to create a beautiful and
vibrant whole. The card is enchanting and colorful. It reminds me of how fun it is
to watch children at play. All their energy and all the knowledge they've gained
so far gets put to work as they create castles, art projects, space ships or
other imaginary scenes to enact and worlds to conquer. Their imagination is such
a powerful tool and allows them to envision all manner of possibilities and
potential scenarios. It is a joy to watch. In fact this image reminds me of the
kind of photo a proud parent would take of their offspring playing with friends
in the backyard - capturing a moment of
industriousness and creativity. It shows children exploring their
individuality while learning how to combine forces at the same time. This might a lesson we
could all benefit from a refresher course in.
