Waite–Smith, Wands
Three of Wands
What you can see
A cloaked figure stands with their back to the viewer beside three staffs, looking over water and small ships.
What Waite says
Waite identifies the ships as the figure’s merchandise and reads established enterprise, commerce and useful cooperation. Ownership of the ships is his explanation, not something their small silhouettes can establish alone.
