Six of Swords




     The Six of Swords is one of the cards of the Minor Arcana. Depicted on this card is a ferryman transporting a mother and child across a river, there are 6 sword piercing the boat which is not being weighed down by them, and the waters are smooth. when this card comes into the spread it normally indicates that you are coming to a solution to a problem that once trouble you. And you are coming away from grief with the help of others. Often times we seem to get stuck in a problem and feel that there is no solution. This is a card of letting go and moving forward in spite of the difficulty. It comes in your spread to tell you life goes on as long as you continue to let it.
