LS Secret Tarot - 8 of Swords

Sanctum_Priest

A pefect depiction fo powerlessness and vulnerbility. Still there is a sense that this young woman can regroup and be strong again.

Agreed. She can certainly defeat her "prison" even though she doesn't at the moment seem to possess the will to do so. The look on her face is indicative of her state of mind. She seems to have simply resigned herself to her situation. The sword she is looking at is jammed deeply into the earth...almost to the hilt. This is the one she is focused on, not the other swords which would be more easily removed. In this way, the card reminds me of the five of cups. The color of the sky, mountain, earth, and even the blanket with which she covers herself is a really dismal gray. The only hint of real color in this card is a faint wisp of pink on the horizon.
