Mythology

In order for Jason to fulfill his destiny as a king, even though he does not yet know this is his fate since according to the Olympian laws a kingdom passes from father to son, he is sent to Chiron. Chiron is a centaur (half man, half horse) to whom children of gods and kings come to study the arts, medicine, combat, and philosophy.

Representation of the Card in a Reading

In a reading, the Two of Wands represents a realization that follows the initial potential of the Ace. Reality is far from perfection and contains challenges and obstacles that must be overcome in order to mature and return to the Ace’s potential. The Two of Wands signifies a break—dream and its fracture, perfection versus the reality of life. This card is meant to indicate a course of action. It symbolizes learning, and like Jason, the querent needs to study before fulfilling their destiny.
