Nine of Swords

Brief Description

The Nine of Swords highlights how worries, fears, and regrets gain power in darkness and can spiral into relentless negative thoughts at night.

In the dark, worries, fears, regrets have more power. In the deep of the night, negative thoughts run in circles. Separate nightmares from reality. Look in your unconscious to find the roots of these thoughts and cut them with logic and a clear and honest look.

Visual Description

A small, rounded white ghost sits curled in a layered dark nest or bed at the center of the card. It clutches a wooden placard that reads "BOO!!" with two exclamation points, held up on a stick. Behind the ghost are nine dark, cross- or sword-shaped silhouettes arranged in an arc, fading into a misty, star-speckled background. The palette is muted greens, browns, and soft highlights, and the lower right corner shows the inscription "9 Мечей."
