Three of Swords
This card shows us three swords stabbed into severed Pixie wings. It is an image of loss, trauma, grief, sadness and separation. Needless to say, this card definitely represents a rather unhappy point in one's life. Just know that it is absolutely normal to go through difficult times in our lives. Grief and pain are inevitable and sometimes often necessary to experience in order to grow. While this card may not be welcomed, understand that whatever it is you are going through will strengthen and mature you as a person. Think of each difficult moment in your life as stepping stones. This path of stepping stones will lead you to something deeper and more meaningful in life. It's okay to sit in our dark moments and truly feel them, just don't allow yourself to stay there for too long. Feel all the unwanted feelings, and when you are ready, you'll be able to get back up again with new-found strength.
Card in Reverse:
In reverse, this card has a much more uplifting feeling. While this card still may be dark and heavy, it tells us that you are healing from a recent trauma. You may still be recovering, but you are on the right path to getting better. It's time to let the pain go and start moving forward. Sometimes it feels like our struggles will never end and that they will last forever, but the Three of Swords is here to remind you that difficult times do end. You will rise up.
