Seven of Swords

 

Do you recognize this man? All but the most innocent and sincere of us have a politician lurking somewhere in our minds. In fact,the mind is political. Its very nature is to plan and scheme and try to manipulate situations and people so that it can get what it wants. Here,the mind is represented by the snake,covered with clouds and ‘speaking with a forked tongue’. But the important thing to realize about this card is that both faces are false. The sweet,innocent ‘trust me’face is a mask,and the evil,toxic,‘I’ll have my way with you’face is a mask,too. Politicians don’t have real faces! The whole game is a lie. Take a good look at yourself to see if you have been playing this game. What you see might be painful,but not as painful as continuing to play. It doesn’t serve anybody’s interest in the end,least of all yours. Whatever you might be able to achieve in this way will just turn to dust in your hands.
