The idea of the wand (the staff) itself and its portrayal in a desert, depicts the very meaning of the suit of the Wands: energy, new ideas, creativity, competitive nature, challenge and struggle to develop one's ideas into a finished product/outcome/result.

The Page: The bearer of a new idea, new thoughts, the seeds to make a barren desert lush and full of fruits and vegetation. This is unlike his cousins, the page of swords, or cups, this youngsters is full of ideas  but needs the guidance someone older than him - his Knight brother - to guide him through.

The Knight: takes the page's idea and rushes to the desert to plant and start working on them. The Knight is the impersonation of that energy full of thrust and risk taking. It may work or may not - this project of turning the desert into green pastures. But the Wands family like taking risks.

The Queen: having taken the risks, their mother has been given a sample of the deserts products - a cut sunflower. She is pleased with the result and she sits their proud of her sons and she herself enjoying all the good things in life. This is a queen who likes her bright colours and adorns her throne with courageous elements such as lions and further pictures of sunflowers.

The King: The teacher of them all, almost saying: I told you it would work. He is now looking into the horizon on what other ideas can be implemented following the success of the desert project.

I like this family.

(From right to left) - This king was not always a king.  He came to this seemingly barren as a poor lad with an enterprising, adventurous spirit!  He had decided to "go west" with a band of settlers who were seeking land and a better life.  When the group arrived at their destination - it looked like anything BUT the "promised land" they'd imagined.  Only the young man looked into the desert and saw potential.  He didn't see a lifeless desert, but a land of natural wonders (red earth and majestic stones) that was filled with mineral wealth - fertile and lush in its own right.  His ideas for mining the land helped the community grow and the settlement became prosperous.  He was elected "king" because of his strong leadership abilities and communication skills.  Once in power, he had to learn the hard way that goals cannot always be achieved using "iron fist" tactics.  He married a woman who was able to help him materialize his vision of "caring leadership".  She was always an equal partner - helping implement her husband's philosophies.  She promoted education, culture and respect for the settlers traditions and heritage.  The Queen bore two sons - the oldest is a reflection of the fiery character of his father's youth.  He goes out scouting new territories and seeking more fertile ground where his father's and his own ideas/visions can take hold.  (He's learning how to become a leader himself).  The youngest son is still too young to set out into the world, but he is already an inquisitive lad - enterprising, smart as a whip and knows what he wants. In this family, ideas, an enterprising spirit, taking charge of ones life, hard work, personal power (influence), daring and bold leadership are the "keys to success."
