Page of Swords
The Headwind
The energy of the card
A young person holds a sword high while the wind tugs at clouds and trees and birds fly past. The card brings an uncomfortable impulse from outside – criticism, jabs, headwind. Inside it lies a chance to learn.
Your path with this card
What stings at first can show you more each time you think it over. One sentence of criticism sometimes opens up a whole new view. The card invites you to listen calmly and filter out what is true for you.
- Which criticism hit you most recently – and what is true about it?
- Where are you the one taking jabs?
In the shadow
Mockery and little digs can hurt, whether they come from others or from you. The card invites you to choose your words with care and to take criticism as a hint rather than an attack.
