# FIVE OF WANDS The Five of Wands depicts five men, each holding a wand as a weapon. Their wands are flying about wildly, with no one making direct contact with or hitting anyone; the scene is mostly chaotic. Because their actions don’t seem violent, the scene can also be viewed as merely competitive, rather than vicious. Each of the five men wears a different-colored outfit, reflecting their different backgrounds and that it’s every man for himself. The scene evokes tension and conflict, and an inability to compromise. ## 키워드 **정방향 (Upright):** Conflict, tension, disagreement, fights, clashing egos, competition, rivalry, power struggle, resistance, challenge, standing up for what’s important to you **역방향 (Reversed):** Avoiding conflict, inner conflict, solutions, truces, releasing tension, getting lost in the crowd, identity crisis ## BEGINNINGS ### 정방향 (Upright) After a tough day, you know how it feels so good to take a shower and cleanse yourself from the conflict or tension of the day?
