Seven of Swords
The Seven of Swords represents the shadowy trickster of the deck, embodying deception and cunning like the Norse god Loki who convinced Höðr to kill his brother Baldr with a mistletoe arrow. However, this card also teaches the value of finding alternative paths in any situation through wit, resourcefulness, and diplomacy. It suggests that sometimes unconventional methods and clever maneuvering are necessary to navigate challenges and achieve one's goals.

The shadowy trickster of the deck, manifesting in all his 'glory' – Loki, who convinced Höðr to make an arrow from mistletoe and kill his brother Baldr with it. But the fiery god of deception is not entirely bad in all things. Sometimes it's worth learning from him how to find workarounds in any situation and act through cunning, resourcefulness, and diplomacy.
