Card Name
THREE OF SWORDS
Meaning
It's a heartbreak. You heave from the weight of the swords in your chest. Maybe you deserved it, and maybe you didn't; the pain is real regardless. Acknowledge the pain, and start finding ways to express it outside of racing to the bottom of a glass.
Visual Description
A tall martini glass fills the center of the image; a small rectangular card is placed against the glass showing a red heart pierced by three swords. Two olives on skewers rest in the cocktail, and the metal stem of the glass runs down to the base. Behind the glass a prone figure's head and hand lie on a tabletop under a dark background, and the printed title along the bottom reads "THREE of SWORDS."
