When the surname Nelson is used without further qualification, it typically refers to "Britannia's god of war," Vice-Admiral Horatio Nelson, whose birthday is tomorrow and who died in 1805 at the Battle of Trafalgar, depicted in this painting by William Lionel Wyllie (1851-1931).
Note Wyllie's unusual choice, in this painting depicting the death of Nelson, to portray the sea as yellowish-orange in color. A similar choice was made by Pixie Smith (1878-1951) in her design of the Three of Wands card for the classic Rider-Waite Tarot deck. Both pictures also show a yellowish sky and depict ships sailing from the right side of the picture to the left.
As WanderingGondola has noted, this is the only card in the suit of Wands to depict the wands planted in the earth as if they were trees -- young oaks, perhaps. The man's arm, extended to the right, makes a horizontal bar between two of these "trees," forming a capital letter H.
So, if you wanted to choose a single Tarot card to represent the death of Russell M. Nelson and the anticipated accession of Dallin H. Oaks to the Apricot Throne, you could do a lot worse than the Three of Wands.
Hours after the death of Russell Nelson, but hours before it had been reported by the press, I took two short naps with the above Tarot card under my pillow. I did not know which card it was, and my intention was to try to guess the card's identity by analyzing the dreams I had while it was under my pillow. I have, for complex psychological reasons, decided that this is a paranormal ability I ought to have and need to develop.
After analyzing my dreams, I came up with a ranked list of nine guesses as to the identity of the card. None of the nine was even the right suit. I declared the experiment a "complete failure."
My first guess had been the Hierophant -- a character who, much like the President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, is a pope in all but name. My second guess had been Death, with particular reference to the fact that the card shows Death coming for a mitered church leader.
One of my dreams had shown a pope dropping and breaking a pair of scissors, which one of the other characters in the dream called "death scissors." Prior to his ecclesiastical career, Russell Nelson was a heart surgeon, and surgical scissors were among the tools of his trade.
Another dream had a newly elected pope announcing a campaign to plant more trees -- including, implicitly, oaks.
The details of my dreams and predictions, all published before I knew of Nelson's death, may be read in my post "Nineteen years inside the sphere."

William,
Humanity is at the shifting of ages, the end of an era.
The 'death' symbolic of the ouroboros, the serpent losing
its tail. Interesting we are in the year of the snake.
Snake being symbolic of wisdom, not evil.
I found it interesting the connection
of the shooting ( by firearm )
and the eruption of fire at the LDS church in Michigan,
the recent Kirk shooting ( Kirk meaning Church)
and now the death of Russel Nelson passing at
age 11.(101).
Kirk was also sitting in a white tabernacle/tent.
Also at the LDS church , 4 people were killed.
Four is the DOORWAY.
I believe the big picture meaning of all the connections
is the ending of the Age of Pisces the FISH.
Fish being symbolic of the Church Age.
In symbolism there is always a big picture meaning.
Michigan is also on the 40'th parallel north
as is Utah.
The symbolism of the Three Wands reflects my perspective
as well, IMHO, as the number three is symbolic
of a 'new' creation.
Perhaps Jesus' return.
I don't think the 3 wands in the Tarot are oak as
the trunk of oak trees are massive in circumference.
Evergreen trees and especially the Northern Hemisphere
Sycamore trees are tall up to the sky,
as opposed to round.
A wand /sceptre /staff is slim, not round.
The "H" is number eight.
There is going to be much more transformative
symbolism events occurring, IMHO.
Russell Nelson was not killed by a gunshot like his nautical namesake, but the church shooting hours after his death adds that element to the mix.
Early reports say several improvised explosive or incendiary devices were found at the church. In my dream, I thought the "death scissors" might be a sort of pipe bomb
William,
If you were responding to my comment, please note
I did NOT say that Russell Nelson was shot. I said that these events
connect to what I believe is a BIG PICTURE which, I
believe, is the end of the Age of Pisces i.e. the Laodicean Church Age.
The " mix' as you call it, (which I call puzzle pieces )
are symbolic NOT literal.
My recent comments about Kirk,(which I don't know
if you read it or not,)but I believe is VERY significant
to the Big Picture of what I believe is the shifting
of Ages and humanity's completion.
Note in my previous comment
I connected Kirk sitting in a white tabernacle/tent
at the time of his assassination,
to my 2015 Where's My Horn dream which
in that dream, I built a white 'tent/tabernacle around
my condo patio.
Copy and paste: regarding tabernacles which
I'm sure you know.
"In the Christian liturgical context, it
(tabernacle ) is a small box or receptacle
designed to house the Eucharist,
the consecrated bread and wine considered
the body and blood of Christ, typically found within a church."
~~~~~~~~
The shooter in the recent LDS tragedy
was Thomas Jacob "Jake" Sanford, 40.
Yet another Jacob ( Israel ) and the number 40
connection.
Do you really think that was a coincidence?
40 days and 40 nights .
Michigan is on the 40 lat as is Utah.
The signs are symbolic not literal.
All of your 'death scissors' in the illustrations
in your previous post
are crossed and forms an X, which X is a cross is it not?
Recall my previous comments about the rising of Osiris
and the X.
You wrote: "At the pope's feet, as if on the floor,
are a pair of crossed keys, suggesting the general shape
of a pair of scissors, with rings into which it would
be difficult or impossible to insert one's fingers."
~~~~~~~~
The Pope of the Holy See wears a vesica piscis fish hat.
The zodiac sign Pisces is 'ruled' by the Feet
and the illusion.
Neptune rules the water.
The X's are crosses.
X is Osiris rising.
copy and paste:
"Osiris' resurrection symbolized the cyclical nature
of life and death, echoing the seasonal flooding
of the Nile that brought fertility to Egypt's lands."
~~~~~~~~
Isn't the cycle the same as the ouroboros?
The big picture answers the WHY which I believe
in these several recent events , when added to
the gazillon others, are signs of the Shifting of Ages
i.e. the Transformation aka The Great Reset aka the
Great Upheaval , aka
The Industrial Age to the Silicon Age, and metaphysically
the End of the Pisces Age
to the Age of Aquarius aka the Golden Age.
