Halloween Tarot - Three of Imps
By Kipling West; book by Karin Lee
US Games Systems, Inc.

Two imps stand on the beach with tall torches, looking at a third whose staff has leaves at the top. The moon and black cat look on.

LWB: "A successful endeavor and creative pay-off. Business savvy. The possibility of barriers between people."

This card emphasizes the difference (gap?) between the achiever and the support staff, as the imp with the leaved rod stands apart from the two torch bearers, who both face him. It shows that, whatever we achieve, we don't do it alone. It all has to come together, whether it be people, physical resources, knowledge, etc. The secret formula has been invented, and now it can be sold. (For which we will need more people, more resources, more knowledge, etc.) In this card, all the elements are present: the shore, the sea, the night sky, and the torches.

I could also see the two torch bearers as imp parents, as their offspring starts its own "family tree" or whatever its got growing there. I started my garden today, and am reminded that a plant needs all four elements, in proper proportion. Starting a garden is also a Three of Wands endeavor, as I've done a lot of work hoeing soil, pulling weeds and planting seeds and seedlings. Yet it is all preparation for the project to come. (I'm growing collards! Yay!)
