Imagery

Pulling forth fire from the ether, the witch conjures the power of the pentagram. He seeks to reveal those things hidden to him. Behind him are the daggers his enemies have tried to throw at his back; he clutches one in his hand and now the ether reveals to him all those who masquerade as friends. He pulls his enemies out of the shadows and sees their faces, dark forces whispering to him the names of liars and thieves. He now knows who they are and he can enact his revenge.

Divinatory Meaning

When the Seven of Blades is invoked, you or someone close to you is engaged in the art of deception. Someone is attempting to steal from the other person. It can be either material effects such as money or belongings; social effects, such as success and reputation; or spiritual effects, such as power. You or someone close to you has lied; they are trying to instigate drama and attempts are being made to cover it up so you or they are unsuspicious. There is an enemy in your midst and only you know your own actions and intentions. If they are pure, then it isn't you; it is someone around you. Finish your projects and see them through. Your procrastination or current pace is doing you a grave disservice so make sure you work to your full potential. If not, it will exacerbate enmity and resentment. Banishing the Seven of Blades is your proverbial silver lining. While things seem rough, you are suffering at the hands of unfaithful friends or enemies and projects aren’t coming to fruition. It is because these things are being weeded out of your life and it needs to happen to lead you to something greater. All your desires are about to manifest but in order for that to happen, all those toxic people and projects need to be removed. Keep your head held high and trust the process.
