| The Eight of Swords is one of the cards of the Minor Arcana. Depicted
on this card is a woman bound and blindfolded behind her are 8 swords blocking her from moving backwards
toward the castle. When this card appears in a spread it's normally an indication of indecision or being
bound by our own way of thinking. It comes into your spread to remind you that your prison is of your own
making and you can remove yourself from those things that bind you once you remove the blinders that you
wear from the truth.

| There is a myriad of symbolisms on this and many of the other cards in
both the major and minor arcana. In order to present a comprehensive and easy to use as a reference source
set of pages for this and other cards, I will refrain from going into great detail regarding the individual
symbols on the cards. On a future date I will go over the more explicit aspects of them. If you have a
question regarding a particular symbol you can email me at Tamerin.
