📜 The Epigraph (The Prologue)

"Smile, and hold fast to what matters. The magic is not fighting every shadow, but the power of wisdom to know when to be silent, when to withdraw, and what must be kept secret. Trust in your penetrating insight to see through all cunning, and use your intellect as a shield to protect your great plans from outside interference."

🎭 The Seven of Swords Card - Seven of Swords

🕵️‍♀️ Concise Interpretation

The Seven of Swords card typically represents sneakiness, cunning, evading responsibility, or dishonest actions. It can also signify strategically protecting oneself by retaining energy, making a tactical retreat, or attempting to solve problems alone. This is a time to:

• Self-Examination: Consider whether you or someone else is acting in a dishonest or secretive manner.

• Strategic Retreat: Sometimes, walking away with what you need and leaving the rest behind is the wisest strategy.

• Maintain Secrecy: Certain actions or ideas need to be kept private until they can be successfully executed.

✨ Imagery Association: A Living Tale of Human Power and Magic

Look at the image of the man (perhaps a sage or priest) who is being confronted by another hand attempting to take a concealed sword, while several other swords are plunged or standing around him. The man's gaze is calm and penetrating, as if he knows exactly what is happening.

This is the magic of human capacity and the power of Strategy and Higher Intellect:

• The Mind Game: The seven swords symbolize cunning and complex thoughts. The true magic is not using physical force, but the wisdom and foresight to see through the schemes and calculations of others.

• The Sage's Composure: The man's calm eyes and the star symbol on his forehead (The Third Eye) show that supreme power is inner mastery and remaining undisturbed by external sneaky actions. He knows which swords to keep (needed for truth) and which to leave behind (useless complexities and thoughts).

• The Wise Withdrawal: The act of one sword being taken/concealed and others being arranged in the natural setting symbolizes mental strategic retreat. The magic lies in the ability to protect the most essential assets (ideas, energy, truth) and skillfully withdraw from the game without needing to fight openly.
