Episode 122: Only The Three of Swords Knows Such Grief

Cardslingers Coast to Coast

Good grief, we’re at the three of Swords. We have a floating heart in the middle of a rainstorm on the image in the Smith Waite deck. It’s being pierced with three swords. It’s a bleak card of heartbreak and emotion; many of us hate seeing this card and giving the hard news to clients. Like The Tower card, this card is striking. It’s one of the most emotional cards in a suit that lends itself to air, communication, and braininess.

Homework: Uncertainty is hard, and the sword's resources lead to good communication. Where do you carry your swords in your heart, and how can you safely pull them out to bring joy back into your world?
