Tarot Tidbit

The 8 of Wands is the only card in the RWS not to contain any visual reference to life. Arthur Waite says of this card, “motion through the immovable… they draw to the term of their course. That which they signify is at hand..” Does this card then really signify the Law of Attraction in action? Is the 8 of Wands your telegram from the tarot that your manifestation of your desire is en route? I think so.
