FIVE OF SWORDS


This isn't a pleasant card by any means. All the five cards seem to have a nasty feel about them. Crowley calls this card DEFEAT.  To me this card represents several things. It can mean cheating, loss, or even you winning a battle or argument, but at what cost? Did you really gain anything in the long run? Did you come off as being smug? Did you burn your bridges?  You may feel as if you gained something, or won. The truth of the matter is that you lost. You may have lost friends, or honor, or credibility. You might want to reflect on the way you went about a certain issue. Did you have to be right? The feeling of being self centered or self important comes out strong. Ask yourself if you were practicing self preservation or were you just being narcissistic.

Reversed this card represents making amends, or resolving an issue. You were the better person and said, "I'm sorry!" Reconnecting with someone you have lost favor with, reaching out.

Song chosen to represent this card is Beat It by Michael Jackson.
