8 of Swords
A bound, blindfolded woman is surrounded by eight swords stuck in the ground that fence her like a cage, a distant castle behind her. It is the mental prison: feeling trapped, a victim, with no way out. Yet the bindings are loose and her feet are free: the cage is in the mind.
Meaning
In the light · upright
Liberation through a change of mindset, seeing the way out, dropping the victim role.
In shadow · reversed
Feeling trapped, victimhood, self-limitation, mental paralysis.
Mantra
“The blindfold and ropes are mine: I can let them go.”
