Two of Wands is a card of decision. A figure stands on top of grey battlements (Chaukathh) and looks out towards the vast Indian Ocean. Though the world is in his hands, he is hesitant to decide his journey. The Two of Wands reminds us to seize the day and to not fall prey to indecision. The two wands represent the dual nature of life and the contradictions one faces. The theme of two often illustrates many different kinds of contradictions: subjectivity/objectivity, subconscious/conscious, etc. This sense of hesitancy is further illustrated with the globe in the figures right hand. The figure has all of the potential in the world, he just needs a push to get started on his journey. His red robe represents passion and willpower. In bottom corner, the lotus flower symbolises purity and the rose represents passion- Together they form a union of opposites and encourage the figure to wield both wands at once. The water on the horizon represents the call for adventure.
