Seven of Wands

Defense, courage, and maintaining your position

You hold the high ground. Do not back down. Your position is worth the fight.

You earned your place at the top; now you must defend it. The Seven of Wands demands that you stand your ground against challengers and prove your resilience.

Introduction

The Seven of Wands represents the challenge that comes after success. You have achieved something (in the Six), and now others want to take it, or circumstances test your resolve.

It is a card of defensive warfare. You are outnumbered but not outmatched. It asks you to have the courage of your convictions and to set firm boundaries against anyone trying to bring you down.
