Four of Swords
+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+
A
haloed saint lies asleep in a bed placed in a church alcove.
Three swords hang on the wall beside him and one lays at his
bedside, as though ready if required. There is a stained glass
window and a red shield emblazoned with a gold lion.
My
Interpretation: Meditation
and seclusion.
Rest
and recovery. Take time alone to heal your wounds. This is a
time to return to simplicity. Contemplation will bring back
a sense of peace.
(Reversed:
Stress and pressure may become extreme, or a time of loneliness
and isolation may need to be overcome).
Edit
notes: Different
to v1.0 card as I've added more symbolism
to assist readers and made it far more similar to the Rider-Waite
card. The main difference between this and the RW card is that
the person in bed is a man sleeping instead of a knight on his
tomb. I have also added a rampant lion on a shield to symbolise
strength through independence, and one of the swords lies beside
his bed - ready to hand if needed.
