Seven of Wands – Valour

Valour means bravery in the face of great danger. The antonym for valour is cowardice.

The Seven of Wands suggests finding new uses for the action. Discovering that the action is making changes into new areas. Making the action go further than it was originally intended.

Book of Thoth

The Seven of Wands is called Valour. Energy feels itself at its last gasp; it struggles desperately, and may be overcome. This card brings out the defect inherent in the idea of Mars. Patriotism, so to speak, is not enough.

The discipline of the army is falling apart – it is now up to the individual effort of the soldiers.
