The Three of Swords

The Three of swords represents heartbreak, grief, hurt, and emotional sorrow.

When the three of swords appears in a tarot reading it’s a sign that you have been deeply hurt either physically or emotionally. this hurt is represented in the three swords piercing a heart, and also by the dark storm clouds in the distance. But the storm clouds also represent that this hurt and pain will soon pass. 

The three of swords gives you an opportunity to let this hurt out, to scream and cry as loud as you can. And maybe that one cry doesn’t fix the hurt but it can help. The emotional release and expression of sadness is essential to beginning to move on to better times and a better mind set. Overcome this challenge and begin to focus, not on the damage, but on recovery and the path ahead.

Last year I began a tarot card art series that I dropped because I fell out of love with the style. Lately I’ve struggled with what I think is the longest and most upsetting art block of my career, so I’m picking the series back up. While it was not my intention, starting with the three of swords feels like a good choice based on where I am mentally and emotionally. Hopefully I this series starts to get me to post more often and make more art, and sometime soon I’ll likely post the dead tarot series for comparison. 

I’m going to give info on each card and learn about them myself in turn and maybe later on start doing daily or weekly one card readings with them.

Thanks for sticking with this chaotic blog that doesn’t quite know what it wants to be yet.
