The Page of Wands in reverse is a very damaged soul. At such a young age, this Spirit should be too young and naive to be this bent. Unfortunately, I would have to summarize that this little Page has seen more than most at a very young age, and has reverted into his or her shell to avoid further pain.
The scary thing about our Page of Wands rx, Cosette (as referenced from Les Misérable), is her lack of life experience to properly deal with and see that tomorrow can be better. Tomorrow can be different.
Strickingly opposite from her right-side self, our little Cosette does not see how she can defend herself from the terrors in her world. She does not have the independence to see past the dust brought up from her broom. She lives in a world of victimhood where she does not use her voice to say enough. When beaten, she does not fight back. She lives in her head, her intelligence a secret. She can dream of a better tomorrow, but believes it is only that. A dream. Sticks and stones, do break he bones. And names... become reality.
Of all my Pages in rx, I do believe that the Page of Wands can make the most dramatic of changes. Robert Graves says it best.
"To bring the dead to life is not great magic.
Few are wholly dead:
Blow on a dead man's embers and a live flame will start"
In my earlier post about the Page of Wands, I included the video of Annie singing 'Tomorrow'. Here, you will see, Cosette, and notice that their actual life circumstances are quite similar. The difference being, however, how each child embraces their future. Where Annie believes she is the captain of her own future, Cosette is resigned to living in her head.

Do you have those moments where you wished you stood up for yourself? Do you get lost in daydreams, or make dreams happen?
