Page-Staves (wands)
With a mixture of confidence and cockiness the young Page struts before the window with the birds first seen in the Ace of this suit. His rich attire and casual air amidst the richness of his surroundings indicates he is used to having the finer things in life. The stave he carries shows the growing potential within this suit by the size of the bud on the top of it. Held much in the stance of a Herald’s Staff (in royal courts the Herald would tap his staff to gain attention in order to make announcements. Heralds are the communicators between kingdoms, forerunners of diplomats) the Stave is prominent in the card.
The Page looks you directly in the eye, he is trustworthy and honest. With the heraldic reference he may well be bringing important new for you. He will do the work to get to know you so that he can become the trusted friend he appears to be. If you think the Page appears as a bit of a “slick Willie,” mayhap you are being indecisive. Does the Herald’s staff strike out at you? If it does you need to watch your words…are you giving too much away? Are you uncaring of the impact of your words on others. The Page challenges us to look in the mirror and realize the path of our lives are of our own creation.
