Eight of Swords

Welcome to season 8 of this podcast, where I am talking all about the Suit of Swords. I’ll be going through each card in the suit, one per episode.

What we explore in this episode:

• The Eight of Swords as a card of fear, paralysis, and self-imposed restriction

• Symbolism across decks: ropes, mirrored blades, blindfolds, darkness, and isolation

• Why this card often asks us to examine the stories we’ve internalized about our worth

• How overthinking, shame, and outdated beliefs create cages we can’t see

• The quiet, radical power of reclaiming agency and moving toward freedom
