What Do Wands Mean?

Wands explore issues related to actions we take. They are also called the Clubs and are associated with the element of fire as well. Fire can be used for so many things. It can give necessary warmth, but it can burn us up as well. It can ignite us with passion, and it can make us dissolve into rage. Fire and our actions in general can make our futures sound or create undesirable consequences.
