Card 56 • swords

Seven of Swords

Brief Description

The Seven of Swords represents stealth, cunning strategy, and achieving goals through deception rather than direct confrontation. Like a warrior sneaking into enemy camp at dawn, this card signifies the need for careful planning and unconventional tactics. While such approaches can lead to success, they also bring unpredictability and new dangers that require vigilant consideration of next steps.

Core Meaning

In the pre-dawn silence, a warrior sneaks into the enemy camp and steals objects without being noticed and without engaging in open battle. Acting cautiously, he achieves the escape of any goal. Such a cunning and unpredictable strategy turns everything into chaos. The traditional pattern of waging war no longer works, and this brings significant new dangers. The next step should be considered very carefully.

Keywords

dishonor, theft, victory through deception or trickery; the need for vigilance and caution.

Visual Description

A lone man in a green tunic strides through a field holding several swords clutched to his chest while a sword lies near his foot. Behind him are tents of a camp and a broken tree stump, and the ornate card border frames a small numeral 7 at the top. Pink-leaved plants and small orange flowers grow in the foreground and grasses bend in the breeze. The man looks back over his shoulder as he moves away from the campsite.
