Image Description
Crows herald impending death with their raspy cries of liberation, circling perpetually nearby. Some look to the future – some fear it. A vortex in the sky spirals upward towards the Heavens, a menacing storm tower with a glimmer of hope lighting up the cyclonic eye. "Come to me, come with me," whispers the storm crow close by. "Let me guide you." He peers anxiously upwards, ignoring the offered guidance through the dark night of the soul. He clutches the sheathed sword for security, though he could raise its shiny blade to illuminate the way. Unaware of this beacon he holds tight or perhaps too faint-hearted and timid to wield it.
Inner Turmoil
He suffers from pain. The swords tattooed on his chest are marks etched with regrets he has felt. At night, he is tormented by inner fear, anxiety, guilt, and doubts. He is a creature of the air; his wings should carry him upward, and the sky should be open and expansive, embodying freedom. Instead, it feels like a trap closing in with the jaws of howling winds of the approaching storm. Yet, if he could discard these doubts, he would be as free as the crows that calmly ascend in an arc trajectory.
Meaning
The 9 of Swords forms the vortex of an internal cyclone. It is a moment of vulnerability when the soul is exposed to its own demons. Guilt and fear immobilize muscles. Understand the source of these fears; learn what they mean and where they come from. Know that the power to break these chains lies within your own heart.
