Four of Wands

What is on the card

Four wands stand in the ground with a garland of flowers and fruit slung between them. Two women raise bouquets in welcome, and behind them a bridge leads over a moat to an old manor house where people have gathered.

The four wands form a stable frame, like a doorway or a wedding canopy. The garland is a harvest celebrated. The raised bouquets are welcome and joy, and the house behind is home and security, a safe place reached after effort.
