Six of Wands
A wreath-crowned rider on a pale horse carries a staff topped by a laurel ring, accompanied by other wand-bearers. The horse and rider move through a group rather than across an empty landscape. Two wreaths repeat the processional emblem at the rider’s head and the top of the staff. Pamela Colman Smith’s design is reproduced in the 1916 Illustrated Key to the Tarot.
