Doing it the hard way
Doing it - Magician
the hard way - Ten of Wands
Magician is doing it, whatever it is. He raises his wand to the sky to bring it down, whatever it is. That is what magicians do.
Ten of Wands is when the hard way is the right way, and you have a lot on your plate, so much to do it slows you down but, by damn, you are making it. Sometimes this picture is about saving a trip by doing it all in one load....
