Get to Know the 🌬️ King of Swords

He's a whirlwind of ideas, a veritable genius, and an excellent communicator.

But like all the focused elemental courts (Air of Air), he can get swept up in the moment of genius. And sometimes he forgets to consider the interplay of those ideas with reality. At best, this weakness can make him a bit scatterbrained, like the absent-minded professor with his head in the clouds. At worst, it makes him heartless and unable to accept the need for the heart to rule in partnership with the head.

If you're ready to find the richness of the court cards or learn to bring them to life in your readings and in your everyday life, order my book ✨ Awaken the Court Cards 👑 through HermitsMirror (PDF) or Amazon (printed workbook).

If you’re like me, you probably suffer from the occasional bout of writer’s block when creating characters – whether it’s for a story or a character for a role-playing game. I created this guide to help you use the Tarot as a brainstorming tool to build out the basics for a character.

TAROT DEEP DIVE ⛓️ 8 of Swords

If only self-sabotage were more yum and less yuck

I wanted to sneak this card in while we’re still in its decan! It’s a complex card full of symbolic contortions. Represented by the 8–10 of Swords, Gemini really gets the pointy end of the stick. But I hope this breakdown helps explain why even the greater benefic (Jupiter) causes problems with this card.

What new insights or fun facts did you learn about the 8 of Swords in this tarot deep dive? Anything I missed?

strength

“The spear of power (air) is balanced by the cup of compassion. This balance cannot be held for long. It is a card of fullness seeking release, a build up of energy that needs grounding, a thundery sky needing rain, passion, anger, pre-menstrual tension, pregnancy about to birth, ecstatic dance or trance that could become oracular, a harvest ready for picking.

It is not an easy energy to utilise yet when surrendered to produces ecstatic liberation that is both tenderness and wildness, a powerful creativity that can be used to transform your life into a dance of the heart.”

I need to get a new Tarot deck 'cause this Tower is blasted. That was a subtile Tarot joke, I don't know if you got that.

I thing I really just said to another person before repeating again but with more shame.
