Thanks Kiama. Sorry to beat you to it JMD, but my confidence needed this little boost. Please release me, let me go, For I don’t love you anymore. To live this lie would be a sin, Release me, and let me love again. I expect you are all far too young to recognise this hit of Englebert Humperdinck’s. I remember my mother singing it around the house when I was young! That’s my story anyway. But I do feel the words to this song conjure up the meaning of the card I have in mind. Good luck.

I'm stumped. I'll guess the Devil.

Sorry Silverlotus but it isn't.

Lovers?

8 of Swords? P.S. I'm old enough to remember. ;)

No, not The Lovers or 8/swords. You are brave Major Tom owning up to remembering Engle.

could it be 8 of cups ?

Yes it is 8/cups. The meaning I associate and feel with this card is someone wanting out. It could be a situation or a relationship that a person wants to break free from. The eight cups in the RW card are still standing, suggesting the person is turning his back on a stable situation or a perfectly salvageable relationship. They could be saying, “ Hey turn around, let’s talk, we can work this out.” But as far as he is concerned the cups are now empty, the fulfilment and satisfaction he once found in them has to be sought elsewhere. Over to you Dark Eyes
