Description:
The six wands here are plain twigs or sticks, with a red/orange fungus growing in splotches on them. They run vertically past a yellow background. Layers of the background are burning away, the pattern getting clearer as they go deeper. A cosmic eye watches from the center of the bottom-most pattern. The wands, solid at the top, fade almost to invisibility as they cross the bottom later.

From the Book: Realization
“Are you investing yourself in the spiritual experience as much as the material one? Are you paying attention to the questions your soul is asking? And how are you answering those questions? … Let your explorations burn the layers of reality and reveal the essence of your existence.”

My take on it:
If there’s any victory here, then like the card before it, it’s an internal victory. A victory over our baser, materialistic natures, in favor of our spiritual selves. Burning away the layers between the outer and inner reality isn’t be easy, and it certainly isn’t comfortable. But if we’re to grow, sooner or later it has to be done. As we dig further, we begin to glimpse the web of cosmic life and our place in it.
