Career, Work Or Retirement:

This card may indicate that there are serious problems in your workplace. This doesn’t have to be the end of the world (or the end of your job) but ignoring these problems will not make them go away. You have reached the point where you can now see what is best for you, your thinking is clearer. Take some quiet time to decide what your next moves are. Is it really best for you to stay where you are? If looking for work, you may be looking in the wrong places. Rethink.

Card Meanings: Surviving Disaster, Being Saved, Courage, Positive Energy, Worst Is Yet To Come, Good Health, Relapse, Things Getting Better, Being Beyond Help, Total Ruin, Pulling Yourself Together, Learning From Past Hardships, Fears Coming True, Over The Worst, Escaping Ruin, Despair, Rising Above Problems/Haters/Bitchiness

The Ten of Swords does carry an unpleasant connotation, but it is also not necessarily the end of the world. When it appears, however, it is a clear signal to be careful about where you put your trust.

Portable Magic
Book Details
Portable Magic: It is best to keep the deck of cards employed in ritual magic separate and wrapped in a square of linen or some other natural cloth, in order to preserve this useful quality of a sustained astral charge. The cards should not be handled by others, or even shown to them. A ritual is a very private activity, unless it is specifically designed to be worked by a group. The tools of ritual are not for curious eyes the system presented here is intended for the solitary practitioner. Keep the deck separate and use it only for Tarot

Creative Tarot: The next step is a bit gruesome: it’s the Ten of Swords. The card of surrender. You’re not going to like it, but you have to do it anyway. It is the card of resigning yourself to circumstances. You might not like having to work with a tight schedule, or work with an outline, or actually working at all! But it must be done. And so you resign yourself to it.

Tarot Triumphs: The Devil in this pack is a grotesque creature. The image we have here is apparently a stock type of devil, which originated with the Persians and Egyptians, reaching us via Byzantine art. Some Tarot card designers (as is evident in the Rider-Waite pack) have decided to make him more majestically horrible, a serious force of evil, instead of this squat, hairy creature. The Marseilles version of the Devil seems androgynous, with a female chest but male genitals, and he is also part beast and part bat with his claws, branching horns, and leathern wings. Sometimes he has gaping mouths depicted on his chest or stomach. Curiously enough, in Northern Italy at the same time as the Tarot emerged, similar images were used to portray ‘monstrous births’ occurring in the population; this tells us that, however far-fetched these pictures were in terms of portraying babies with birth defects, there was a genuine horror of anything half-human. The Devil, then, might also indicate that danger of losing our humanity and sinking into a bestial state.46

Reversed Cards: There really is a difference between tenacity, stupidity, and being a bully. Sure, they all share the never-give-up, never-surrender attitude, but that’s where the similarity ends. If this card has shown up in the shadow aspect, you are walking a thin line between being stupid and being a bully. You are making waves just because you can and bringing confrontation everywhere you go. The real question is, why? Even if standing your ground and being stubborn has just become a survival habit, right now in this position it is not serving you and is only making things worse. Put down your wand and find an alternative before it’s too late.
