King of Wands
The Card
A king in lion-decorated robes sits forward on his throne, as though about to stand. His wand is held upright and alive. A lion rests beside his throne. A salamander bites its own tail on his crown — the ouroboros of fire completing itself.
Symbolism
His forward-leaning posture marks readiness for action even in the most elevated position. The salamander ouroboros on his crown: fire that renews itself. The live lion at his side is the wild creative force he commands through partnership, not domination.
The visionary leader. The King of Wands sits forward on his throne, ready to rise. He holds his wand upright — not as a weapon but as a scepter of creative authority. He leads through vision and charisma, not through force.
Arrogance, unrealistic expectations, imposing vision without listening, energy that turns to tyranny.
