Keywords
The Blindfolded Defense
A woman with blindfolded eyes sits on a stump, crossing two daggers before herself. Deprived of the ability to see what is happening around her, she involuntarily defends herself against a harmless butterfly, unable to predict the senselessness of her defense. Her tunic also looks out of place in this icy landscape: it can hardly protect its owner from the piercing cold.
The Moon's Deceptive Light
The moon, goddess of illusion and fear, waxes in the background, casting a little light on this scene. Significantly retreating from the cold clarity of the Ace, the Two of Swords warns of delusions and false reality.
The Danger of Blind Defense
No matter how you defend yourself, if you are blind to what is happening nearby, you will miscalculate and miss your mark. Do not shy away from the truth, for often it turns out to be no more frightening than the many treacherous realities that your mind awakens to life in the darkness of imagination.
Finding Balance
Do not let useless fears trouble you. Find balance.
Visual Description
A blindfolded figure sits barefoot on a stump in a snowy clearing, clutching two crossed swords with both hands. Darkly colored pine trees surround the figure and a crescent moon hangs in a star-filled sky. Behind the trees a vivid, swirling multicolored band of clouds or waves sweeps across the horizon, and a small butterfly rests on the colored swell. The card title "Two of Swords" appears at the bottom.
