Mental Distress and Vulnerability

If you find yourself experiencing wild thoughts that twist through your mind like spider webs, you are likely unhappy and find yourself in a vulnerable position.

Visual Description

A pale, winged female figure sits curled on the twisted roots and trunk of a gnarled tree against a blood-red sky. Her dark bat-like wings are folded and ragged, and she appears contemplative or weary, one hand to her face. To the right three upright swords are planted in the ground, their hilts visible above the earth. A single horizontal sword appears in the narrow black border at the top, and the numeral 3 is centered in the black border at the bottom.
