P PAGE OF WANDS

Page of Wands upright

Enthusiastic exploration: a new interest, message or opportunity that sparks curiosity. The Page represents eager beginnings.

The Page of Wands is enthusiasm and exploration: a free spirit eager to try something new, often a message or an opportunity that sparks excitement. It describes curiosity, creativity and the first steps of an adventure.

Page of Wands reversed

Restlessness, ideas without follow-through, or immature enthusiasm.

Reversed, the enthusiasm has no direction: procrastination, setbacks to new ideas, or starting things without finishing them.

What Waite wrote in 1911

Upright
“Dark young man, faithful, a lover, an envoy, a postman. Beside a man, he will bear favourable testimony concerning him. A dangerous rival, if followed by the Page of Cups. Has the chief qualities of his suit. He may signify family intelligence.”
Reversed
“Anecdotes, announcements, evil news. Also indecision and the instability which accompanies it.”
A. E. Waite, The Pictorial Key to the Tarot (London: William Rider & Son, 1911), Part III, § 2 — read the original text. Waite’s book accompanied the Rider deck and is where most modern card meanings come from; the readings above are modern interpretations built on it.
