paradoxx
Yaboot001 said:I always see the 9 of Swords as a troubled card; it is one of the darker in the Rider Waite.
With this in mind, how do people view the quite (or very) cheerful bedspread? Also, any insights on the engraved picture on the bed?
Best wishes

I'm assuming that the bright color of the bedspread is to purposly contrast the darkness of the picture all around. The Engraving seems to be a fight of conflict of some kind, but alas, I am unable to decipher its exact meaning. It is the Zodiac glyphs on the spread that relate to the ever changing cycle of time, the woman (man?) looks like she is grieving for someone, or is just under emotional stress.
With that interpreation in mind, the subconcious (the engraving) lies below the persons awarness. The Zodiac Bed Spread indicates that no matter what we are a part of the earth and solar system and that does affect how we do things. The Cycle of Seasons and the change of the year are also equally obvious interpreations. It is the hoplessness and possible depression of nable to do anything inbetween that is represented by the person sitting straight up and the 9 swords may indicate troubled thoughts on the mind. Perhaps a guilty mind.
But then again, i could be totally wrong depending on the exact deck and spread one may be using.
