Description of the Image
He stands in the way, repelling those who dare to approach. His masked appearance is fierce and imposing. Steel gleams as he draws two swords to block the path. 'Who wishes to pass?' he asks, his eyes and teeth reflecting like the two blades. He stands here, as rigid and tough as the forged metal swords. Forest spirits writhe and blend into the trees around him. They keep their distance from the cold steel, from this icy figure.
Meaning
The 2 of Swords signifies a stalemate, an impasse. Neither side is willing to compromise, and no progress can be made until one decides to yield to the other. It is a rigidly regulated balance, a strange dance that tries hard to gain a brief respite without yielding to any arguments. It is a renunciation of truth, an evasion of what is transparent to your vision or hidden in your heart.
Open Your Eyes
The swan urges, offering a gift, a flower, a poppy, which is the sleepy death that comes when it's impossible to dismantle unyielding barriers.
Open Your Heart
The swan insists, offering a pulsing jewel, a heart that becomes still when there is only a desire to take and not to give.
