Eight of Wands (Battlefield Ghosts)
Story
Ghosts have been spotted on old battlefields all over the world. Some attribute this paranormal phenomenon to the violent, traumatic nature of the deaths and the inability of victims to completely transfer from the physical realm. Such concentration of violent energy may also leave imprints that linger and become fixed in our collective unconscious, accounting for visual impressions experienced by the living who visit these haunted sites. Lightning illuminates the battlefield, revealing what has been hiding in the shadows. The skeletons of ghosts continue to march on between the world of the material and the ethereal atmosphere of spirit, represented by fog.
Divinatory meaning
A rapid response will set things into swift motion. Before charging forth, make sure you approach your efforts with methodical, focused intent. Don’t let shadows of the past prevent you from moving forward.
