"Eight of the swords": What does the tarot card show?
The "Eight of Swords" looks pretty uncomfortable, right? In a prison whose bars are made up of eight metal-cold swords that have been rammed into the ground, there is a bound young woman. The eyes are still connected to her! The sky is grey. It's probably just been raining because the ground at the woman's feet is muddy and full of puddles.
In the background rises a high mountain. On it stands a castle whose roofs glow red from the gray in gray of the sky and the rock. The castle may stand for the security of the parental home that the young woman has left, perhaps for a terminated love relationship or friendship, for a lost job. Anyway, because that's past, she turns her back to.
Her situation is complicated: she is now stuck in a muddy swords prison and can not look ahead because of the blindfold.
But is the situation of the woman really as hopeless as it seems at first sight? The eight swords do not really lock them in, they just stand on their left and right sides. In addition, the woman is only tied from the arms to the hip. Her legs are free. So she just needed to go straight to leave the swordsman prison behind. Nevertheless, the woman remains patient and remains in her predicament. Maybe she's waiting for a knight to free her? Or just that fate is more gracious to her?
Too bad, because the problem of the lady is actually only in her own head: She herself firmly believes that she is completely helpless and can not do anything to improve their situation. That is not right. Just the energetic orange-red color of her dress certifies her the power to change her situation. Her restraints are not chains or ropes, but only thin bandages that she could easily strip or cut at the sword next to her. And the blindfold is, strictly speaking, just a loose head band, under which it can blink well to see the way to the future!
