Alright, let’s talk about the Seven of Swords in tarot. I’ve been messing around with tarot cards for a while now, and this one, the Seven of Swords, always gets me thinking. I got into tarot cards because my friend recommend me, she said it can help me to know myself more, well, seems she was right.
So, I decided to do a little experiment with it. I started on a Monday, because, why not? It’s the start of the week, new beginnings, you know? And there are seven days in a week, that also has something to do with seven, haha. That was my first day of the experiment, I pulled out the Seven of Swords. And I decided to keep pulling cards. What’s interesting was, I pulled this card on the first day of my experiment!
First thing I did was just look at the card. The image on it is pretty wild. A guy sneaking away with five swords, leaving two behind, and a sneaky look on his face. I stared at it for a good while, trying to figure out what vibes I was getting. It felt like a mix of, “I’m getting away with something” and “I’m not being totally honest here.”
Then I thought, let’s see how this card plays out in real life. I went about my day, keeping the image and those feelings in the back of my mind. I started noticing things. Like, there was this one time I was in a meeting, and I had this idea I didn’t fully share. It wasn’t a big deal, but it kinda felt like I was holding back, like the guy on the card.
I kept a little notebook with me that week. I wrote down every time I felt like I was being sneaky, or not telling the whole truth, or even just avoiding something. It was kinda eye-opening. Like, I realized I do that more than I thought! Not in big, bad ways, but in little ways, like not speaking up when I should, or dodging a tough conversation. For example, I did not tell my friend about I think her boyfriend was a bad guy, I was worried. And during the seven days I pulled out cards for four times, not a lot right? But I guess that is life, keeping secrets.
And guess what? One day, I actually did something pretty sneaky. I took some credit for something at work that wasn’t entirely mine, It gave me a temporary advantage. Sound’s like the man who stole the swords right? It felt kinda good at first, like I got away with something, but then, not so much. It just didn’t sit right with me, like I betrayed my own principles. So I learned a lesson, and the Seven of Swords really does point to some tricky stuff about honesty and integrity.
By the end of the week, I had a whole bunch of notes. It wasn’t like the card was predicting my life or anything. It was more like it was showing me parts of myself I wasn’t really paying attention to. Like, how often do we take the easy way out, or avoid conflict, or not say what we really mean?
My Takeaway
So, what did I learn from this Seven of Swords experiment? A few things:
- It’s easy to be sneaky: We all do it, in little ways. It might not always be bad, but it’s worth paying attention to.
- Honesty is tough: Sometimes it’s hard to be fully honest, with others and with ourselves.
- Tarot is a cool mirror: It’s not about magic, just about reflection. The cards can show you things about yourself if you’re willing to look. And I will absolutely keep exploring tarot cards.
I’m not saying the Seven of Swords is a “bad” card. It’s just a card that makes you think about how you’re showing up in the world. Are you being straight with people? Are you being true to yourself? Those are some tough questions, but I think they’re worth asking.
This whole thing was a fun little experiment. I might try it with other cards, too. It’s like a little adventure into your own head, with some cool pictures to guide you. I’d say, if you’re curious about tarot, give it a shot. Just don’t expect it to tell you the future. It’s more about understanding your present, I guess.
