Four of Swords
This card represents peace, detachment, and a temporary withdrawal from worldly affairs. Like King Arthur being carried to Avalon for healing before his prophesied return, this period of rest and restoration serves a greater purpose. The time given for recuperation should be embraced and used wisely, as it has not come without reason. This withdrawal is not permanent but rather a necessary pause for renewal and preparation.
