The 7 of Wands – Get Up, Stand Up

7 of wandsThe 7 of wands, get up, stand up, stand up for your rights!  With this tarot card you may need to stand up and defend what you believe in or what you’re working toward.  You may need to rally people behind your cause.

Think political rallies, think demonstrations.  Now imagine yourself with the bull horn.  It’s time to spell out what you want to see happen and why, and tell others how they can help.

Since we’re on the subject.  The reason I am creating this deck of Tarot cards to be released into the Creative Commons is because we are in a new age of publishing.  Each of us can touch masses of people with our creative work, and those creations can serve the purpose of uniting under a common vision of the future.

My vision for these cards is that they are available for people to download and use freely.  Feel free to add to these cards and make them your own.  Print them out and glue them on some card stock if you need a deck of Tarot cards.

My vision is that we can create a community of Tarot card artists and share among ourselves our creations.  Because that is what art is – a dialogue.

So go ahead, download the images.  Share them.  Let every body you know that is interested in tarot, astrology, divination, modern spirituality,  or art know about the project.

Don’t let the energy behind the 7 of wands intimidate you.  Even though I used the image of the bull horn, you don’t have to be quite so loud and forceful.  You don’t need to get your own radio show.  You don’t have to march on the capitol.

Bob Marley, a prominent image in the card, expressed his beliefs through laid back reggae.

Questions to ask around the 7 of wands:  What do I believe in?  Why is it important to me?  Why should others listen or join in?  Who has the upper hand and what am I willing to do about it?
