The Fountain Deck- King of Wands & 6 of wands

[mefbp7]

Hey there squad! I recently acquired the Fountain Tarot deck, and I love it! However there are a couple of cards that I 'm struggling to connect with.  The King of wands and the 6 of wands and all their juicy insight is eluding me... I understand the meaning/ interpretation behind them in the RWS deck and my other deck, but this deck has a different... character. Anyone with insight please help a girl out!

Hi, mefbp7[/member] .  I moved your question to Tarot Decks - RWS is only for that specific deck

I understand that this might be a bit late for you to receive an answer, and you may not be around anymore. However, I really love this deck, and I thought that any response could be helpful to anyone else who might want to delve deeper into it with us.

 

I see that Six of Wands in its traditional form, someone being celebrated. You can see that the person is being lifted up by a crowd, and the overall mood is happy as we see in the person's smile. The white batons and the red gradient might make the illustration look like someone in a high jump competition, being captured mid-jump before falling into the flames (which might seem negative, or battle-like); so this card has an added sense of competitiveness. I do take the red color more as a link to the wands' fire element than to a combative stance (like the seven of wands energy), but I understand the color can be distracting.

 

The King of Wands, to me, is more like an allusion to a high jump athlete preparing to break his own record. It’s a person who has mastered the art of channeling their creative energy to achieve maximum impact, radiating the results of their clear and trusted vision to themselves and others. The fact that the “rays of light” partially obscure him evokes a sense of humility and selflessness from that energy.
