Three of Batons ("bastos") from a Spanish deck

The Three of Wands, or Three of Batons, is a playing card of the suit of wands. In tarot, it is a Minor Arcana card.

Three of Wands from the Rider–Waite tarot deck

Tarot cards are used throughout much of Europe to play tarot card games.[1] In English-speaking countries, where the games are largely unknown, tarot cards came to be utilized primarily for divinatory purposes.[1][2]

Divination usage

[edit]

A calm onlooker facing towards the sea. There's a possibility that he is a merchant or looking forward to a journey. The three represents creation – looking forward to something with optimism – a mission. This card symbolizes enterprise, trade, or commerce.

Keynotes: achievement – venture – traveling – pursuing a journey

If the card is in reversed, it means the end of a task, toil, a cessation, and disappointment.
