VIRTUE
THREE OF WANDS
This card refers to Binah in the suit of Fire, and so represents the establishment of
primeval Energy. The Will has been trans mitted to the Mother, who conceives, prepares, and
gives birth to, its manifestation.
It refers to the Sun in Aries, the Sign in which he is exalted.
The meaning is harmonious, for this is the beginning of Spring. For this reason one
sees the wand taking the form of the Lotus in blossom. The Sun has enkindled the Great
Mother.
In the Yî King, Sol in Aries is represented by the 11th hexagram, Thai; its meaning is
identical with the above description.
