Play with a Full Set

From the Via Tarot, the King of Wands; from the Nature's Pharmacy Deck, Comfrey:

          This King is literally and metaphorically fired up, with lightning above his head and flames at his feet. The chessboard at ground level reveals he has a plan he's about to put into motion, and this project is what's got him pumped up and excited. But what concerns me is the battle armor he wears, which is great if you're in an actual fight with swords and lances. When someone is so full of enthusiasm (able to see the 'promised land' in his mind's eye), he can have the tendency to become dogmatic and testy when questioned about his approach. He may be snappy or condescending to those folks whose help he is going to need. It's impossible to play chess with just a king; the other pieces are just as important. The Pharmacy Deck produces Comfrey in response, an herb also known as "bone-knit." It's properties were so highly thought of, Nicholas Culpeper (an herbalist of the 1600s) declared it would cause pieces of meat in the cooking pot to bind themselves back together. Obviously, this herb symbolizes mending what is broken, which the fiery King would do well to heed. As Yehuda Berg reminds, "Words are singularly the most powerful force available to humanity. We can choose to use this force constructively with words of encouragement, or destructively using words of despair. Words have energy and power with the ability to help, to heal, to hinder, to hurt, to harm, to humiliate and to humble."
