Card Meaning

The Wands of Strife speak of conflict on many sides, energy wasted on internal friction, and the chaos of everyone fighting for themselves. Here, many forces collide and cannot be brought together as one. Everyone holds a wand, everyone swings it at someone else, yet no one truly moves forward — and in the end, the goal is forgotten in the fight.

When everyone’s energy goes into fighting one another, the goal vanishes amid the clashing staves.
