Trois de Bâtons. Art by Matthew Meyer, from Tarot Yōkai.
ワンドの三 HAHAKIGAMI Hahakigami is a tsukumogami living in a broom. It is a spirit that purifies and chases away negative spirits and energies. It is also considered an amulet that helps convince overly insistent guests to leave and get going again. After observing the Two of Wands, the Three of Wands announces that our projects are underway, and that more opportunities for expansion and growth are available to us. Upright: progress, expansion, foresight. The Three of Wands speaks of possibilities and horizons that are expanding; we simply have to keep our commitments and prepare to take the necessary steps. In this light, the Three of Wands also announces possible challenges and changes that await us as we continue on our path. Reversed: Unexpected delays, lack of vision, reduced goals. Reversed, this card suggests that growth and expansion are possible but that we do not yet have the courage to step out of our comfort zone. It can also mean that we may have tried a path of development but have not been able to achieve our goals, or that our projects are blocked by an obstacle. Finally, this card reversed suggests a difficulty in moving from thought to action, especially when faced with projects that seem too big for us.
