It seems
obvious what this man is doing within the 7 of Swords Tarot card, but is it
really?
The
Swords within the Tarot deck are said to represent thoughts, decisions, and
mental upset. The numerology of 7, according to Tarot guides, represents self-awareness
or spiritual choice.
So, how
do these keywords combine to mark this man as a thief?
Perhaps
this card reveals more about the victim rather than the man himself. If you've
ever been burglarized, stolen from, or deceived, you quickly become aware of
how easily you can become a victim, causing mental upset.
Should
you be cautious in your business dealings? Keep your plans to yourself?
This,
my friend, is why you need to rely on your own intuitions to interpret the Tarot.
A picture is worth a thousand words, and put some keywords on top of that, and
well, you have a tangled mess, don’t you?
Of
course, this is also the attraction of the cards: so many things to see, to
create, to imagine, all from a card or two.
Some Word Play:
The 7
of Swords as a character is definitely a thief, there is no doubt on this one,
at least not for me. Of course, Robin Hood was a thief, was he not? So, good or
bad, is yet to be seen.
~~~
Sneaking
and cunning, I plot and plan, setting my goals into actions. I’m smarter than
you, you see, for I have the patience to outmaneuver you and eventually win.
~~~
Tip
toe, tip toe, I move through the night unseen. You may be missing a bracelet, a
watch, or a ring, but you’ll never suspect me.
Affirmations:
I think
things through, form a plan, and wait for the right moment to proceed.
~~~
I take
one step at a time, adjusting my movements as needed. I will succeed, where
others have rushed toward failure.
~~~
I
concentrate on a single task and complete it with ease. Only then do I begin
another task, staying focused on my work at hand.
Final Words
Watch out
for the man standing too close, he may be after your wallet. The internet is
also full of creeping thieves, waiting for an opportunity.
~~~
Don’t take on more tasks than you can complete.
Put multitasking to the side. Focus on one job at a time. You’ll accomplish it
faster and more effectively.
Enjoy your
week!

This card has always been a bit of an enigma to me. I find I prefer the image in the Druidcraft -- this is a different take on plotting and scheming, the scholar in his study. Of course we know you can do some of the most nefarious thieving with pen and paper -- junk bonds, banking scandals, and stolen investments come to mind! I guess I never quite 'got' Pixie's tiptoeing sword thief.
Interesting image with the Druidcraft version. Brings a totally different energy than the RW.
If you combine the Druidcraft and the Rider Waite you get plagiarism :)
Nice observation!
