The battle within

Five Wands



Legacy of the Divine Tarot    The Legacy of the Divine is a stunning 78-card deck from Ciro Marchetti, talented artist and creator of the Gilded Tarot and Tarot of Dreams. It's roughly based on a Rider-Waite foundation, but rendered in a magical, highly realistic digital style. The deck is available as a special edition from Ciro, and also as a mass-market edition from Llewellyn.:

My first glance of this card brought some negative feelings to mind.  To me, it appears to be men fighting and attacking one another within the pits of supposed hell.  How can this be a positive thing?  Perhaps it depicts the journey that I've been on and how I've overcome some personal demons.  Literally, my dark night.  I have had some battles within myself that caused me distress and pain.  Yet, with the help of Tarot and Oracle cards, I've learned a lot about myself and how to deal with and move forward from some of these difficulties and pain to move forward with my life.

One interpetation of the meaning of this card is describing aggression and hostility.  While all three figures appear to be from the same tree, it could represent an inner struggle or a struggle between those who are intimately attached.

There has been ongoing struggle with another for awhile.  The struggle and confusion has caused both of you to withdraw from the other and create walls to protect yourselves.  This will not change anytime soon.  The struggle is going to continue; hostilities may grow or worsen.  But do not give up hope; the battle will come to an end and resolution will happen when you are both ready.
