What card or combination would depict an open prison
Hi everyone, I know typical cards depicting prison but what card would you define as an "open" prison. I am now thinking that the 8 of swords, where she can let herself out would be an open prison. Or, perhaps, as a combination the 8 of Swords and the Fool (depicting freedom). Would be glas to hear your thoughts/ideas Thanks |

"open" meaning a prison without walls/non-physical prison? How about the 4 Cups or 7 Cups as mental prisons? Or the 4 Pentacles as being imprisoned by greed? Or the 5 Pentacles as being imprisoned by poverty? Or the 6 Pentacles as the prison of "payday loans"? Rodney __________________ Smile. It makes people wonder what you're thinking.... |

re: What card or combination would depict an open prison
The Nine of Wands (defenses/defensiveness/self-protection/keeping others out). |

Never heard of an open prison before - how about looking for cards which might reflect how the person would feel in circumstances like that? I'm thinking the Seven Wands, the Seven Pentacles, the Eight Swords, Justice, Judgement, things like that. __________________ Life is a holy moment, a brief flash of sentience in the sacred abyss. |

The Devil maybe? That could represent imprisonment, and the looseness of the chains around their necks could represent the ability to remove the shackles temporarily and also willingly putting them back on again. __________________ Smile. It makes people wonder what you're thinking.... |

4 of Swords maybe... that's temporary confinement. Or maybe the 4 of Swords along with the 8 of Swords RX. __________________ Obi-Wan Kenobi: But Master Yoda says I should be mindful of the future.

Interesting. We have a similar thing in most counties in Arizona - you check in to the jail on Friday, get out Monday morning so you can go to work. Most people go along with it because the penalties for not coming back when you're supposed to is an even long jail sentence without the coming and going. Anyway, I always think of the Hermit-reversed as an enforced separation from society and this would include jail time - couple him with The Fool (as you had mentioned Margee) and you have an enforced separation with freedom. __________________ "A famous person once said; 'you can fool all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time' ... but, as I (an even more famous person) say; 'if you don't teach them to read, you can fool them whenever you like!'"

Thanks everyone for your input. I have never used reversed cards so they would not apply |
