Seven of Wands
The Seven of Wands depicts a lone defender standing firm on a rocky outcropping amid a violent storm, symbolizing the need to protect one's ideals and take a defensive position. The raised staff, visible sword, and opposing staffs below show confrontation where taking a risk can still lead to gaining the upper hand if you hold your ground. This card advises calling in support and focusing your energy despite external turmoil and opposition. Reversed, it suggests reassessing conditions, releasing anxiety, or choosing to walk away from conflict. The Bind Rune reinforces eliminating distractions and concentrating on the task at hand.

Description
A single Viking stands at the edge of a rocky outcropping. Their hands are raised, and the arms of their robe hang low. A staff appears in their right hand. Onlookers can see a sword hanging off their belt. They stand in defiance. A mighty storm rages on around them. Lightning crashes down towards the ground. Harsh rain blows everywhere. Six long staffs with crosses on their tops appear below. They appear at odd angles, as if the people holding them are raising them to fight. Two figures appear near the left of the card. They wear red clothing, reminiscent of religious robes. A single Rune appears directly above the person on the cliff, the Viking.

Visual Description
A robed figure stands on a jagged cliff top, arms raised and holding a long staff as lightning forks across a stormy sky. Below on the lower ledge several upright wands are planted like spears and a smaller figure in red reaches upward with an outstretched hand. A small numeral '7' and a bundle-of-wands icon appear near the top edge of the card. The scene is wind-blown, wet, and charged with electricity, emphasizing height, exposure, and confrontation.
