Card Depiction
The Five of Swords depicts a character vigorously ascending a ladder in an attempt to retrieve the treasure of glistening swords. However, the character's ascent is impeded by a web of rope that prevents him from completing his premeditated goal.
Character's Struggle
An aggressive spark is ignited within the character, and it pushes him to fight through the barricade. His efforts are a futile waste of energy as the ropes bind him further, yet he continues.
Karmic Consequences
The character invades a previously undisturbed sanctuary of lush greenery. Likened to grave robbing, his act of intrusive desecration backfires, resulting in a karmic exchange between this obtuse aggressor and the violated sanctity of the stone enclosure.
