From the Tabula Mundi Tarot, the Two of Wands; from the Words of the Brehon, "The three things that constitute a buffoon:"
Men value things in three ways: as useful, as pleasant or sources of pleasure, and as excellent, or as intrinsically admirable or honorable. —Mortimer Adler
Dominion is the keyword for the Two of Wands; having dominion suggests we are the master of our 'house.' In other words, we use our will with wisdom, purposefully taking charge of the way our lives unfold. The Ace gave us an idea, now this second wand allows us manifest something with it. Whether we squander it or use it beneficially, it will become a piece of our reality. The Brehon card states that buffoons blow out their cheeks, satchels, and bellies. This saying points out people who are full of self-importance, like to boast about what they have, and are gluttons. Such a squandering of power begs the question, "Do we want to be noticed or do we want to be admired?"
