Keywords
Confronting the Shadow
Sunlight implies limitations, while darkness contains infinite possibilities. The more we suppress the darkness, the deeper it penetrates us. Our main enemies are usually ourselves and those we consider enemies are merely shadow projections of our soul. The Seven of Wands is mysterious, elusive, and has a tendency towards the supernatural. Why does your shadow rise now? The witch is cloaked, perhaps hiding and suppressing too much. She holds a torch, aiming to peer into the darkness before her. What are you afraid of confronting?
MEANING
Defensive actions. Struggle and maintaining the best position. Whether your enemies and challenges are real or imagined, have they emerged on their own, or to distract you? This card signifies an inevitable confrontation and a test you must face.
SHADOW
The shadow meaning of this card is sacrifice and self-identification with the ego. The ego does not care about the nature of the energy it feeds on. A victim mentality, viewing oneself as a 'martyr,' feeds the ego. This mindset leads you to perceive yourself as the 'good' person while others spoil you. The ego takes center stage when you are convinced of your righteousness, and others are wrong. Examine patterns in your life and determine how exactly people disappoint you. Is resentment and pain a recurring theme? What do you gain from these returning again and again?
