Nine of Wands

Suit of Wands · fire

The Nine of Wands is the weary strength that remains when you have endured much and are nearly through. It honors resilience and the protective boundaries built from past hardship, while cautioning against guarding so tightly you can no longer rest. Consider what you have survived and the reserves you still carry.

A bandaged figure leans on a staff with eight more standing like a fence behind. Wary but upright, the figure looks off to the side as if bracing for one more challenge.
