Introduction
This card represents the wild nature, where the chosen path can be joyful and free or full of unseen dangers and excesses. In the image, a hunter sets a trap for a bear without noticing that the bear is watching him from behind. The person also does not suspect the fauns dancing in the distance and luring the bear.
Choices and Consequences
The card highlights the question of choice, as consequences are inevitable. The seeker is warned that short-term goals requiring sacrifices might not always be in their best interest. Will the bear join the celebration of nature spirits, or risk being caught in the trap?
Life Directions
People also choose directions in life, and sometimes what initially seemed a blessing turns out to be false. Then there is a choice – to free oneself or not. Working in a well-paying but unpleasant environment or staying in unsatisfactory relationships to meet others' expectations are just two examples of how one might take on an unwanted burden.
Freedom and Joy
One can free themselves from imposed restrictions to savor the joy of life with the fauns. Choosing freedom of action and laughing as a result, or being tied to an unpleasant situation, lifestyle, or relationships.
