Nine of Wands

Element: Fire

---

Upright: Vigilance, defense, stubbornness, waiting, experience, isolation from external life, emotional scars, focused solely on facing conflicts while losing awareness of other things.

Reversed: Unpreparedness, loss of courage to face conflicts, giving up defenses, enemies too strong to resist with current strength, seeking alternatives beyond mere defense.

Card Description: A cloud boy with a bandaged head leans against his wand, gazing sideways as if waiting for something. Behind him stand eight upright wands forming a fence-like barrier. Though no immediate danger looms, he remains on guard, unable to relax or lower his defenses.
