Eight of Swords
The Eight of Swords depicts a feeling of being trapped or in a tough situation, but suggests that the bindings are not as tight as they seem. It indicates that liberation is possible with a different perspective, calming emotions, and a logical approach. The card calls for introspection about the self-imposed limitations and fears that hinder progress. It's a reminder to not let emotions cloud judgment and that the solution, although not necessarily easy or straightforward, is within reach.

Initial Thoughts
"Is it dark here, or is something wrong with me?" I will escape from here even if it costs me my life.
Inner Reflections
The witch in this picture thinks: "How unlucky! I am trapped and see no way out." However, a closer look reveals her hands are not actually tied. She simply needs to untie the ribbon at her wrists, remove the blindfold, and pay attention to what she really doesn't want to see. Her faithful helper is doing everything possible to aid her; she just needs to stop panicking and start thinking. The witch already has everything necessary. A little blue bird offers a glimmer of hope.
Deeper Insights
Think: sometimes, we become so wrapped up in what's happening that we lose ourselves completely. It may seem that circumstances or the actions of others are to blame, but honestly, it is our fear that binds us and prevents effective action. Ask yourself, does this card symbolize you? If so, you already know how to free yourself, so the real question is - why aren't you doing it? Try not to let emotions derail you and take away the ability to think clearly. Take a deep breath, calm down for a moment, and perhaps the solution will present itself naturally. Of course, this doesn't mean you will like the solution. If it were that easy, you likely would have done it already.
