Key Symbols

• A young woman stands on stage and talks to a crowd of fellow students.

• She’s in the spotlight of six burning torches, which symbolize her public visibility.

• She’s positioned in front of an open window. The window is framed with laurel leaves, which signify victory, honor, and acclaim.

• The window, however, makes her vulnerable to attacks from all sides. Leaders can’t hide on stage or fade into the crowd.

• Public speaking can be a challenge, even for the bravest souls — but great risks can lead to even greater reward. The Six of Wands symbolizes the respect and recognition of the community that come from a leadership role.

• While the young woman is the center of attention, the crowd is momentarily turned to someone who’s asking a question. Leaders are continually expected to explain and defend their positions.

• At the same time, citizens are expected to educate themselves and participate in the governmental process. The interaction demonstrates that every right comes with an equal measure of responsibility.

• The bright red curtains on the stage surround the young woman with a backdrop of fire and energy.

• She’s also dressed in red, the elemental color of fire. It indicates that she’s energetic and enthused, and that she’s practicing fire magic.
