This is a very Wyrd card for me. Someone crossing a narrow, slippery-looking bridge over moving water under a Harvest-gold full moon. The Green Earth Spirits are sleeping on either side of the body of water (can't tell if it's a lake or river). The Winds of Change are at the Traveller's back. She/he walks with one sword piercing the air before her/him and the other drawn and ready to strike. Gold Stars are twinkling and there are sworls of something - breath or air or clouds - in the sky. The water's surface is rippled and reflecting the Harvest-gold Moon eerily.
A hint of 'creepiness' for me appears along the border. There are six swords in the upper corners, one on the lower left side, but a dark sword-shape on the lower right side. Is it the shadow of a sword, perhaps one that the Traveller is carrying, or something darker? There is an unbalance along the border. I mistook the five swords tucked along the top of the Traveller's cloak as a collar. Points for two, maybe three, of them poke out the bottom of the cloak.
The Runes are an inverted Ansuz (answers) and Tiwaz (direction), numerical value of 4 and 17, respectively. The Rune total is 21, Laguz, the Rune of Water - hence the body of water the Traveller is crossing? The inverted Ansuz could represent hidden widsom. In Rune work, a body of water can represent unseen roots; it can also represent a test or journey. Our Traveller is crossing it by a bridge-like structure that does not look to easy to walk on, especially if there is a wind at your back.
There is much reflection in this card - twinkling stars and the Golden Moon reflect the Sun's light, the water reflects the moon, the bridge, and the Traveller; Swords being the suit of thoughts and ideas. The bridge looks like a rainbow with all the color drained out of it.
I get a creepy feel from this card, which is bothersome because I drew it as the 'To Know' card in a reading for my Mother this morning. The other cards:
To Will: Four of Swords Reversed
To Dare: Hermit Reversed
To Imagine: Page of Pentacles
To Be Silent: King of Swords Reversed
My interpretation: Mind my own business - there are things that my Mother needs to work out for herself. Keep the lines of communication open.
The question: What remains with my Mother that I have the ability to change for the better before Year End?
