The "Eights" in the Tarot Deck are often associated
with strength. ("Strength" is Card
No.8 in the Major Arcana). Some situations require courage and the
cards numbered 8 in the Minor Arcana concern taking the necessary action
- even when to do so may be difficult.
The Eight of Wands is often associated with travel . Further, it
sometimes described as representing "unrestricted freedom". This freedom
is not just in terms of what we do or where we go, but also freedom
of mind - perhaps even wild imagination.
This card is often visually simple - employing less symbolic imagery
than some of the other cards in the Tarot Deck. This may make the card
more difficult to read because there are fewer possible prompts for
the reader to relate to - therefore it is especially important for
Tarot readers to be familiar with as many as possible of the interpretions
of this dynamic card.
