Ten of Swords
The Ten of Swords represents the finality of a difficult situation and the impossibility of changing the past. It acknowledges that sometimes evil appears to triumph, but reminds us that what seems like defeat may be nothing more than a nightmare that will fade upon awakening. This card marks an ending that, while painful, opens the door to new beginnings.

Core Meaning
It's impossible to go back and change the past. Sometimes evil wins, but sometimes it deceives us: it's just a nightmare that will disappear after awakening.
Visual Description
A figure lies on the ground amid fallen leaves with ten swords driven into his torso and chest, small wounds bleeding where each blade enters. His arms are outstretched and one hand rests near a discarded rapier; his clothing is rumpled and stained. In the background a pale woman in a flowing dress reaches forward with a look of alarm or lament, standing among bare, shadowed trees. The scene is framed by a dim, wintry landscape and a narrow strip of lighter sky on the horizon.
