Seven of Wands
A figure braces on a rocky height with a staff held across the body as six other wands rise from below. The elevated footing separates the central figure from the challengers represented only by their staffs. The unseen opponents are represented by their staffs below the defender’s high footing. Pamela Colman Smith’s design is reproduced in the 1916 Illustrated Key to the Tarot.
