Upright
The card stands tall

Reversed
The card turns
The page chatters but never finishes anything. Reversed, the Page of Wands is restlessness without direction, a head full of beginnings and no middle, a messenger with no real message.
Symbolism & imagery
A young figure stands in a wide desert holding a tall wooden wand that is sprouting green leaves at the top. Three pyramids rise in the distance; the figure's plumed hat blazes orange like a small flame. He is dressed for adventure rather than battle, and his gaze is fixed upward at the wand as if it has just begun to speak.
