Seven of Swords
A sly thief sneaks away from a military encampment under a bright yellow sky, carrying five swords over his shoulders while looking back over his shoulder at two remaining blades planted firmly in the ground behind him.
He walks on his tiptoes, acting outside the established laws of chivalry. The card represents the mind utilizing unconventional wit and isolation to bypass a massive force that cannot be conquered through brute strength alone.
Upright
The Seven of Swords is the card of tactical cunning. Upright, it indicates that a conventional, direct approach will not work; you must use stealth, clever strategy, and a 'lone wolf' mindset to secure your objectives or protect yourself from a deceptive environment.
Reversed
Reversed, the deception unravels. It points to exposed lies, a failed strategy that leaves you vulnerable, or a crisis of conscience that forces you to confess your hidden actions and make direct amends to those you have wronged.
