Skulls, bones, and a field of swords illustrate lingering past mistakes and the many forms darkness can take. The imagery urges recognition that harm may be unavoidable in the short term, and that endurance is required.

Story
According to Arabic folklore, ravenous djinn lurked in lonely deserts and graveyards to feed on humans. Its cannibalistic nature made it a feared vampire-like spirit that sought victims and made travel through the desert a risky affair. Ghouls were adept shapeshifters and could take on the form of animals. Ghouls also devoured children, proving that its evilness knew no bounds. There's no place to hide. The swords are everywhere, reflecting the many ways darkness can descend on you. The skulls and bones are remnants of past mistakes, lingering in the dust. Spirits on the horizon beckon you to liberate yourself from the situation and move on.
Divinatory meaning
Disaster is imminent. There is nothing you can do but to get past the darkness and regroup.
