Page of Wands: Luz and the Detention Kids Choosing Their Magic Tracks
Upright: Curiosity, finding your passion, adventure, inspiration, possibility, potential, free spirit
Reversed: Indecision, haste, lack of motivation, lack of passion, limited progress
The Pages of each suit represent the beginning of one's journey in relation to the elements the suit represents. The Wands represent the element of fire; they're all about your energy, motivations, creativity, ambitions, and passions. So, the Page of Wands can be understood to represent the first step in pursuing one's passions. The Page is curious, adventurous, ambitious, and energetic, though often inexperienced and naive. The Page is tasked with exploring the limitless possibilities in front of them, finding out what ignites their soul, and taking the first step toward realizing their goals. Reversed, the Page of Wands can indicate a lack of internal drive, stifled ambitions, and being overwhelmed by too many possibilities.
Viney, Jerbo, Barcus, and Luz all share their desire to explore more than just one magic track in school, but are all hindered by the "one-witch-one-coven" rule. In fact, they are punished for their enthusiasm for learning by being relegated to the detention track, unable to study anything at all, let alone multiple types of magic. They don't let this stop them, though; they sate their curiosity by using Eda's old secret hideout to take their desired classes anyway. They are finally allowed to pursue multiple tracks when they prove there's no inherent problem with doing so—that in fact, witches are stronger when they're not limited to just one type of magic. Tying into the Page's themes of beginnings, this episode marks the true beginning of Luz's education at Hexside, and plants the seed for the eventual dissolution of the coven system.
