SEVEN OF SWORDS
Red Hood in the Wood -- Editing carefully. Taking only what is needed. Escape and intrigue. Evading what seeks to devour you.
SHADOW: What are you hiding from? True avoidance of a person, place, or thing is indifference. The conscious desire to avoid something usually stems from desire. Our defenses emerge when we discover what we want, then realize we could lose it. The stakes are high. Are you ready to embrace your desire? Can you face what you've been running away from? Give yourself the advantage by setting up the game rules, facing your opponent honestly, and moving from your heart.
A woman holds seven swords. She wears a shredded gown and red hood while her dainty legs and bare feet are exposed. A menacing wolf creeps down the path in search of her, while a pair of eyes looks out of the tree above. The path is scattered with crunchy leaves.
The white of her dress implies purity, while the red hood is a sexual symbol implying passion and fervor. The combination invokes the loss of virginity and chastity. Wolves and other monstrous creatures often have been used to express dangerous masculinity.
This card is about making a clean getaway. It is the ability to evade detection and to escape unscathed. It reflects the need to take serious action. The Seven of Swords contains the mystical luck of number seven. It is outwitting danger and sneaking away. The path remains. The woman and the wolf chose it consciously or subconsciously. These two will rendezvous in the near future. It is their destiny.
