Navigators 6 of swords
What I see:
A golden skinned man takes a leap over a river. In his hand a sword and behind him 5 more are pointing at him. He is dressed in a hat with stars, an armbracer with a star and a lion on his thigh. Behind him trails a black cape and in his heand a cap of a graduate. He is leaping towards a pillar with symbols on them, I see a candle, a bell and a book, a pair of crossed swords and a sun/moon(?) In the ocean we see a submarine emerging, creating waves.
I love that this is such an active card, he is not simply being ferried off somewhere, he is leaping! He has a clear intent and shows bravery in the face of danger (like the lion on his thigh)
Symbolism:
"The pillar of true science rising on the right and marked with the occult metaphors of bell, book & candle, a nightly ritual of study which takes place in obscurity but which reveals true light"
The bell, book and candle was originally a ritual of excommunication from the catholic church. 'Ring the bell, close the book, quench the candle'
Today this card reminds me to not be so scared of sharing my thoughts. My mind is active and quick and a thing to be proud of and not hide. Take the leap - dare to shine.
From the LWB:
Diving into the depths of the unconscious mind on a voyage of sublime discorvery. New creative ideas bring new comprehension. Free your mind of restrictive ideas and repeated anxieties. The future holds a change for you which conatins great intellectual challenges.
