They appear to be a real Jewish organization with a disclaimer on their website
Okay, I just read that disclaimer and wow. Wow. That sure is a thing somebody wrote and apparently several other somebodies saw fit to sign off on. I kind of feel like it invites exactly the sort of feedback it's your first instinct to write, but then again, there's very much a "we dare you" tone running through that disclaimer that makes me think their only reaction would be smugness at having provoked outrage.
May I ask what makes the card so important to you?
Oh, gosh. That would take at least one essay, a chapbook, and probably a novella. The short version is that I have a deep affinity for string instruments, especially violins and guitars, a deep affinity for foxes, an abiding love for changeling spirits, and the Page of Wands is variously known as the passionate creation/inspiration card. That really speaks to me at this point because I feel like I'm finally starting to really come out of a fallow creative period that started over ten years ago, when both my health (never great) and my marriage (rocky for most of its duration) disintegrated at an accelerated rate. Through the six years prior, I had managed to establish a regular writing habit that allowed me to be unprecedentedly prolific; what felt like overnight, I was reduced to clawing together barely enough words for school assignments, and sometimes not even that.
I am still not even close to where I was at the beginning of that six year period, but I can see it from here, if that makes sense. The Page of Wands feels like an affirmation from my own subconscious that I'm moving in the right direction as I learn how my creative brain works now.
