This little light of mine,
Should I let it shine?
V of Wands Spell
This little light of mine,
should I let it shine?
This little light of mine...
which one shall I find?
A bomb in a bush,
nudge it out—give it a push...
Lovers better duck and cover.
This little light of mine,
I finally got a spine.
Firecracker, firecracker—boom, boom,
boom.
dy-no-mite! Better lie down—
here comes the doom!
This little light of mine,
I'm gonna be just fine...
Crazy cocktail smashed on the floor,
flames freaking out, eating up all the gore—
wrecking what you did and more...
And I'm outside, watching; you can't ignore.
Oh, this little light of mine,
I'm ready to let it shine...
Candle lit—there's no get-over-it...
I'm going to use it for sure.
This little light of mine,
could I let it shine?
Conflicts of mind,
no longer mine—
loss and love—
for sure, I did find.
This little light of mine,
would I let it shine?
The most powerful voice in the room
rarely comes with a bang or a boom,
but everyone notices
and surely focuses
on the one whose light is a bloom.
This little light of mine—
it's really going to shine.
Yes, this little light of mine,
it really is sublime.
Hide it? No way.
Come hell or heyday,
this little light of mine...
I'm not scared to shine.

KEYWORDS: CONFLICT, CHAOS, RIVALRY
IMAGE
A bomb, a stick of dynamite, a Molotov cocktail, a number 8 birthday candle, and a lighter compete for Eight’s attention. The lighter is the clear winner—but does Eight want it to win? Lined up together, the first four seem to carry equal weight. Yet the lighter, the one that holds the power to ignite any of the others, feels heaviest of all. When your voice is the lighter—when it can spark any of these combustible objects—which fuse should you choose? Eight looks stunned, confused. It’s written all over her face.
DIVINATORY MEANING
Fives represent disruption, change and a break in what was settled. In the Five of Wands, there is a conflict, a rivalry, a fight between worlds of some sort. When you have the chance to create change, it can be anxiety-inducing or even downright terrifying. When you put your whole creative self out there into the world, you often pause and think carefully before you commit. You’re building your legacy. What do you want the world to see: destruction, impulse, expression, or the fragile possibility of light? Finding the courage to use your voice is one of the most powerful acts of all. What do you want to ignite with it?
EIGHT’S INSIGHT
Sometimes silence holds great power. Sometimes fear is what keeps our fire doused. Fear can be a deterrent or an accelerant. Once you understand what you want to say— and how to say it—you’re ready to speak. But mind your tongue if you’re still uncertain. Think a little longer before you choose. Because once you set things ablaze, other things can catch fire. What consequences does your speech have? A quiet, continuous burn can be more enlightening than an explosion of shrapnel. Do you know what it is you want to say? Will it hurt others along the way? Will it all be worth the burn?
