Cards and Quotes: 6 of Wands

Today's Cards and Quotes features the SIX OF WANDS from Tarot of the Animal Lords by Angelo Giannini (Lo Scarabeo).

Sometimes referred to as "the victory card," the Six of Wands usually depicts a conquering hero surrounded by fanfare and flags. Tarot of the Animal Lords offers a very different perspective on this card. The image makes me think of the expression "tooting your own horn" (as in being overly prideful). I am pairing it today with another saying that seems appropriate.


"You can be a rooster one day and a feather duster the next."
(One day cock of the walk, next a feather duster.)
