When the Ace of Wands appeared in this deck, it carried more than fire and promise—it carried a story of inspiration. Bonnie, the white cockatoo, had long been companion to the creative process. She had watched sketches emerge, ideas ignite, and whole worlds form at the tip of a pen. Yet when she encountered Pyrralis, the alien fire goddess who sparks dormant seeds into bloom, Bonnie felt her own flame awaken.
For the first time, she wished to be seen not just as a witness, but as part of the work itself. She requested a portrait—not of vanity, but of celebration. This portrait honors her role as both muse and participant, capturing the moment she grasped the wand of creative fire and allowed it to blaze through her.
The Ace of Wands is always a card of beginnings, vitality, and uncontainable energy. In Bonnie’s image, we see the truth of that power: when the spark of inspiration is embraced, it transforms. A bird becomes a flame. A companion becomes a creator. The watcher steps into the canvas.
Message:
When this card comes to you, remember that inspiration is not only around you—it is within you. Do not be afraid to step into your own portrait, to claim your fire, and to celebrate your role in the creative unfolding of your life.
