Image Description
He hides his face under a mask, concealing his true nature, smirking because he managed to steal one of the swords watched over by the swan guardian. He thinks the guardian didn't notice, but she is actually watching him over her shoulder with one eye. She understands and acknowledges his nature.
Blackbirds descend to him and stealthily come very close. 'What do you have there? A shiny toy! How brightly it sparkles!' they ask, attracted by the fierce gleam of the blade he has acquired. He also turns his back to them, for he is the smartest and most skilled blackbird, able to pull this sword from the stone.
Meaning
The 7 of Swords symbolizes an attempt to escape from responsibility. This is a thief trying to run away with stolen goods that do not belong to him. He dishonestly tries to keep everything for himself, and is double-faced to those who try to approach. The result of such a worldview is insecurity, because if one is unreliable, then why, risking, should others be trusted? Deception breeds distrust and a pessimistic outlook.
