The Four of Wands is a card used in Latin-suited playing cards which include tarot decks. It is part of what tarot card readers call the "Minor Arcana".
The structure in the front resembles a Jewish wedding chuppah, although it is not covered by a cloth as is traditional in that faith. In fact, it is covered with netting intertwined with fruits, in the manner of a SamaritanJewishsukkah prepared for a harvest festival.Шаблон:Citation needed
The four wands' structure appears stable enough to stand on its own, unlike several other cards, in which some wands have to be held.Шаблон:Citation needed
The people in this card appear somewhat distant from the wands, unlike the people appearing in other cards of this suit. There seems to be a lot going on in the background.Шаблон:Citation needed
The persons closer to the structure seem quite enthusiastic, as they wave "nosegays" (according to PKT), bouquets of flowers up in the air. Their gestures are also reminiscent of the celebration of Sukkot, in which celebrants hold bunches of plant matter up in praise of God.Шаблон:Citation needed
This card is generally considered positive. It is said to reflect harmony and positive feelings, hard work with good results.[1][2][3] According to Waite, it is country life, haven of refuge, a species of domestic harvest-home, repose, concord, harmony, prosperity, peace, and the perfected work of these.[3]
