Eight of Swords

8. Eight of Swords

A bound, blindfolded woman amid swords (constraints), free legs and gaps between the blades (the way out exists, if only one opens one's eyes).

Upright

The illusion of no way out, limits set in the mind, fear, a victim's stance, paralysis of will.

Reversed

Release from fears, a way out of the impasse, self-confidence regained.
