King of Wands - The Spirituality of Imperfection

The King of Wands, the counter part to the Queen of Wands ( The Sunshine Lady) and both are symbolic of the creative imagination. This card also embodies a combination of positive and negative characteristics, not unlike most of us. It can be difficult to come to terms with some of these and easier to accept other personality traits within this individual.

What can be very frustrating about the King of Wands is to clearly recognize the strong leadership qualities and capacities that are apparent in someone who could be a heroic figure, a shaper of world events, and has the power to be a visionary influence, having an infectious personality that can be very convincing to generate change.

Here is the caveat. The fact that he/she is intolerant of limitation, impatient, is certain that they are right, and is an unquestionable bad loser. These character defects can undermine and be very detrimental to his or her relationships.

Though we are not the same in our personalities, we share in common the quality of imperfection. We are all human, need to remain humble, and need to have a sense of humour. These are the life tools and qualities that real heroes and heroines possess.

King of Wands - Is He Justin Trudeau?

Whenever I see this card, the King of Wands, I think of it as representing my ideal counter part, my life partner, soul mate and closest companion, because I identify with the Queen of Wands.

I think for everyone it is the most natural human longing to desire a heart and soul partner. This partner comes in many forms, in life and even in death. Some of us have lost our partners to death or some other kind of separation, and we don't envision the possibility of ever finding or replacing that person, which can't really ever be done anyway, but we continue to carry those we love ever so close, deep within the heart of our are hearts and they are with us always. Our relationship with them never dies.

Whatever our situation we have to come to accept in order to live our life to the fullest.

The King of Wands is embodied in the mythic figure King Theseus of Athens. This card represents an individual of action and a creative, entrepreneurial visionary who is a true leader, with a infectious personality and fiery enthusiasm. The King represents influence tempered with maturity, knowledge and wisdom.

When I think about the description of the King of Wands, Justin Trudeau comes to mind, or maybe I'm thinking of Prince Charming, but I'm certain there are many who would disagree with my comparison!

King of Wands - Heroic Quality

The King of Wands might be the man of my dreams. He represents creative vision, imagination, and a romantic soul. A soul that is guided by a force greater than himself, and symbolizes the influential true spirit of leadership, that is forward looking with great enthusiasm. He is both noble and strong. The King of Wands is what I'd call a man's man, a manly man. ;)

He sets the example of what it means to be a hero. The down side would be that he has a fiery temper, a rather impulsive nature, and can be impatient with others limitations, as he expects humans to rise to the occasion, in order to reach their full potential, and to actualize their capacity in all that they do, so humanity might be more than it is.

Represented by the mythic figure of King Theseus of Athens, he accompanied Jason on his adventure in pursuit and capture of the Golden Fleece. He is willing to do what ever it takes to reach his goals, is courageous and demonstrates many heroic qualities.
