Six of Swords

Brief Description

The Six of Swords symbolizes a necessary escape from a negative situation, emphasizing the importance of moving forward, even if it means leaving with nothing. It highlights the journey away from trouble with only what's essential, the value of seeking a better future, and being open to giving or receiving help. The primary message is to recognize when to walk away from irreparable situations and not to burden oneself with others' problems excessively.

ANYWHERE BUT HERE

Sometimes, you just need to leave. Try not to take your problems with you.

THE JOURNEY

The witch in the card is not willing to spend another minute in her current situation. She is already on her way, carrying only what is necessary, because time waits for no one, and it's sometimes better to leave empty-handed than to rely on things or people that pull you down. However, the witch is not traveling alone. It's unclear whether she is helping her companions or they are helping her, but they are together. A magical gesture summons the wind, and the travelers head into the unknown future, knowing only that any place will be better than what they leave behind.

REFLECTION

Consider: some situations are simply beyond repair: unhealthy relationships, jobs that break you, dangerous or useless circumstances. If you find yourself in such a position, ask yourself if it's time to accept the losses and just leave. Asking for help under such circumstances is not shameful. Perhaps someone else needs your help to escape their complex situation. It is okay to offer support. The main thing here is not to become the one who carries another's burden.
