Episode 128: Waiting to Scream in Your Face with the Four of Swords

Cardslingers Coast to Coast

“Be still and listen to your soul.” Henry David Thoreau

The calmest sword out of the entire suit, the four embodies calm, peace, and a long rest before the action. The figure, typically depicted as a knight, lies over a tomb. Melissa suggests that this is Mercutio from William Shakespeare's 1597 tragedy, Romeo and Juliet. Jaymi ties the card back to being silent and gathering your resources. And Hilary reminds us about the meditative quality of the card.

Homework: Engage in a self-care activity.
