Message of Eight of Wands:
Think of Eights as 2x4; Twos representing balance, opposition, or dialogue combined with the foundational or stagnant or rest options of the Fours Wands (Clubs, Rods, Sticks, Staves, Torches, Batons, etc.) represent the Element of Fire and concerns Energy, Passion, Desire, Creativity, Spark, Insight, Devotion, Calling and Action. The Eight of Wands is in motion, not what one usually expects of an 8 card. The esoteric name is the Lord of Swiftness. If these are your wands(your words, your deeds, your actions) flying through the air, let's hope they were sent off with a good effort to produce a good effect. If you have been hasty in words or deeds, you had better take a moment to stop and think about the consequences of your actions.
