From the Wild Unknown, the Eight of Wands; from the Pictish Oracle, Arch:
The step that we are on is only a step to the next place...
― Craig D. Lounsbrough
There are times in life when it feels like we've been on permanent pause, waiting on the same step for a long time. There is no going or coming, simply a state of stasis. The sticks above remind me of a little teepee of wood that you arrange for a campfire. Nothing happens without the addition of fire, but it looks like lightning has arrived to get things going. We're about to start taking some quick steps, maybe two at a time. Though the Arch resembles a horseshoe, there is no archaeological evidence that Pictish horses were shod. Because it shows up in eleven stones with various designs, it is likely a torc, a metal neck ring that symbolized strength, power, or nobility. It is reassurance that we've got what it takes to get through this next phase when things start moving.
