Seven of Wands/Datura

Highly poisonous species of flowering shrubs also known as thorn apple. Makes a potent salve, but was used in India in high doses to render victims “insensible” by assassins. The wands are brass vajra, which symbolize the balance of enlightenment and destruction. 

DIVINATORY – A struggle or confrontation is brewing. Strength to endure the ordeal.
REVERSE – Inability to recognize inner potential leads to failure.
