Oh no, I didn't mean it that way, that things were moving too quickly for me, just as a reason for me being a day or two behind with posts. Sorry, sometimes things don't come out the way I meant. But I did want to thank you for starting most of these threads for us.

I'm really enjoying this study!
The 7 of swords poses a problem for me, I just don't like it! I think Papageno is right, it is because I don't understand it and take it's meaning to the nth degree of nasty and underhandness. I like that this card has no sneaky guy in it, but on the other hand it is a difficult card for me also, because now I'm just not sure what to do with it.
I usually learn through writing, so I thought that I would try just looking at the card and writing down whatever came to mind... so forgive my gobbledegook!
Three swords bound together by a ribbon, bound by energy... bound to seperateness... the lone wolf perhaps? Thoughts, communications all tied...tongue tied? Thinking the people are out to hurt you.
Two sets of two swords seperate but bound, truce, indecision.
The ribbons around the two sets of two swords are floppy, inactive, at rest, at peace. The ribbons around the three swords, are in motion, they look like arms, are they reaching out or are they flailing... out of control. Throwing caution to the wind.
Saying what you want, or not saying what you want, being unable to, having your own words being used against you. Be careful what you say.
The two sets of two swords are horizontal, the three are vertical. Why?
After all that I still don't feel any the wiser.
It strikes me as being restrictive, I feel quite tight and claustrophobic almost when looking at it. I feel like there is no way out. Take out the sneaky guy and I still don't like this card, or understand it.
