Family, Friends & Relationships:

In general, The reversed Eight of Swords tells us that although it is time to move forward, that we cannot plan or be utterly prepared for everything in life that might happen, and that accepting that fact is an important part of adulthood. Know that when we need help, help is always available. Take one step at time. Worry solves and changes nothing.

When the Eight of Swords appears, you may be holding yourself back because you fear moving into the future, or because you are wary of getting hurt by a new situation, or maybe for no reason at all. Think through what it is that you’re afraid of. The truth of the situations are probably much less frightening than your mind is making it out to be.

Book Details
Elements of the Psychic World: Over six sessions, Virginia revealed many details about Bridey’s life, including her birth date in 1798, her childhood amid a Protestant family in the city of Cork, her marriage to Sean Brian Joseph McCarthy, and even her own death at the age of 60. As Bridey, she provided numerous details such as names, dates, places, events, shops and songs, but could these details be verified? Although Professor Stevenson could find no evidence of fraud the results of many investigations were mixed. Much of what Bridey said was consistent with the time and place, and it seemed inconceivable that someone who had never been to Ireland could provide so many details with such confidence. However, researchers could find no historical record of Bridey Murphy – not her birth, her family, her marriage, nor even her death – leaving the case an intriguing mystery.

Reversed Cards: Let’s put it in a more practical form. Have you ever been late for work or an appointment because something or someone delayed you? Your alarm didn’t go off or one of your kids suddenly took ill or your spouse took up a little more of your time then you had hoped. One of these things delayed you, pushed your schedule back, or made you change your plans. Then in hindsight you realized that the delay actually saved you from an accident or some other challenge. This is what a card in the protection aspect does. It diverts the energy around the point of chaos or pain and instead allows you to get to where you were headed all along in one piece.

Reversed Cards: If the pages of the tarot show us where we begin, then the kings show us where we end. The four kings of the tarot are the last stop of each suit. You could say the buck stops with them. There comes a point in life when we stop looking at others for help and assistance, and instead they look to us. We all end up becoming experts at something in life, especially if we make it to our senior years. The kings offer the sort of wisdom and insight one can only get from living a long life. They have taken the long path, experienced the journey in all of its glory, and now get to wear the crown. That is not to say that this phase is easy. Oh no, there are many challenges and challengers to face when one steps into the shoes of the king. Lucky for us we have the tarot kings to guide us through the ups and downs and inside-outs of this, the last stop along the suits of the minor arcana.
