Daily Draw | Three of Swords 050820
The Three of Swords has been known as the card of sorrows. In Waite’s deck, it is depicted as three swords piercing a heart.

Daily Draw | Ten of Swords
The Ten of Swords is a card of finality. Tens for me, in general, represent completion – the end of a cycle, preparation for a new one. This Ten, in particular, resonates with a sense that something is ending for good. My cheat sheet entry for this one is “it’s so over.”
