Today I drew the Three of Staffs (Wands). I usually look at this card as being one step closer to your goal...waiting for your ship to come in, which is definitely on its way. But in this deck, I view it a tad differently. The purple dragon ship appears to me as if it’s sailing away, rather than towards the reader. I feel like it’s something I have created, finalized, and am sending it out into the world, as I wait for news of its success. Sort of like a message in a bottle. Or a science project in grade school. You work for weeks (or if we’re talking about me, you waited until the last minute and worked frantically the night before)...then you put it out there for the world to see, hoping you get a ribbon because your project was so fantastic.There’s something in the card which is difficult to see in the online scan. Between the trees, on the ground near the water is a clump of leaves that I mistook at first for a golden, jeweled crown. In between the leaves you can see through the holes to the green water behind, but they appeared to me as jewels. I still see the crown whenever I look at this card, and have to try harder to realize them as leaves. So when I first saw this card this morning, I had the feeling that something I have worked for will soon pay off. The ship has sailed, I have sent it out into the world, and while I’m waiting for news of my perseverance to pay off, there’s a crown left for me as a sign of success.
I have been thinking this week of promoting something I had worked long and hard on awhile ago, and I see this card as a sign that my past efforts will soon pay off in a grand way. Bring it on!!

Kiki,
I am distracting myself from a headache, reading your old archives and I love these posts with the Tarot of the Moon Garden. Thinking I may have to get this one sometime...it's so dreamy!
I also like the way you described the 3 of Wands/staffs as a ship in a bottle leaving--I did a reading today which had the 'three of wands' and I was thinking about what it meant. Actually I had the 2 and 3 of wands and I wasn't sure what that meant, except maybe progress of some kind.
I love idea of launching an idea out--like a ship in the bottle. I do feel like that right now--I've got two shows coming up this month and I am a bit nervous about the reception and I want to get some good feedback and/or sales. But like the ship in the bottle-I have to let it go with all good intentions and not worry about what will happen from there...
On another note--hope things are going well for you with all your preparations and such.

Ya know what, I sold this deck. I would love to have it again if they took away the awful borders. I find the blue design hideous and very distracting. They should make the artwork larger, with the minimal plain frame. It would be such a beautiful deck that way.
It's neat that you found something in an old post that resonated with what you're going through right now. I wish you tremendous success in your upcoming shows!
