Each trigger gave me vigor
and gifted me rigor—
made my story a frontier.
III of Wands Spell
What great things
I see in these wings—
a gossamer goal,
a possibility in fragility,
a delicate dream,
all set to blaze and to beam—
their magick into the breeze.
I whisper my worries
into their floats and their flurries
and dance with the songs in my mind—
I swirl them around 'til I find—
they're exactly, perfectly aligned.
And when I breathe in,
I feel it again—
this vision expanding outside!
Each one flies outward and onward—
flitting,
committing,
never, ever quitting…
The world might take notice
of these wings carrying words—
the secret of the secrets
is timeless and told.
Others will gather the power—
every second, every hour—
from the glitters and the flutters,
to the streams and the gutters,
into smiles and tears,
soon, everyone will hear—
that through my fear,
I've become so clear...
Each trigger gave me vigor
and gifted me rigor—
made my story a frontier.

IMAGE
In a sunset-illuminated forest we see Eight holding a butterfly in the palm of her hand. They’re looking at each other deeply, their purpose shared. There is an enclosure nearby with the husks of the three freshly eclosed insects. Two have already flown away, their magickal trails following them. This one remains on her palm, a moment between them, one last wordless conversation before they carry her dreams into the distance. There are three trees in the forest, further representing the passion of the three butterfly wands. She’s confident, brave, and secure in the decision she chose from the II of Wands. She’s left the home and is forging her way to building a new one.
DIVINATORY MEANING
Threes signify a chance to creatively collaborate. For this card, you’re being asked to gumption up that creativity inside you and offer it as an expansion—a gift to the world. Your inner desire for creation is being unleashed, or you’re at least thinking about doing so. When we’ve had our spirits injured, it can be daunting to gather up yourself enough, to feel what you’re doing or saying is vital enough, and to act on that energy with enough passion to set things into actual motion. Your plans aren’t a secret anymore—they’re unfolding right in front of you. You might need to join forces with a business partner or a creative team to achieve the full power of what you’re doing. You have some doubts, but that’s healthy. You need to be prepared if this plan backfires, but because this plan is in its beginning stages, you’ll be able to chart a different path if necessary.
EIGHT’S INSIGHT
You’ve put your heart and soul into a creative project, but it’s not really panning out the way you thought it would. You’ll need to figure out what went wrong in order to keep this plan afloat. It’s okay to make mistakes; you might even find a happy mistake causes even greater success if you’re paying close attention to the lesson. If you’re limiting yourself with lack of confidence, it’s time to believe in your own self already! If you’re not listening to the story you’re telling, is anyone else? Don’t just keep sending wishes and hopes into the world…they’ll just endless float around and around, never coming to fruition. You have to ACT. Even if you’re completely scared.
