Description
Tarot. For more information about the deck and to see the rest of the cards: [link]Eight of Swords - Wasting energy on the trivial, frozen in crisis, restricted, confused, feeling powerless, trapped by circumstances.
The Brambles Crone lives among the blackberry hedges where the fruit is tempting and sweet, but even the leaves have wickedly curved thorns to catch and hold. The little hummingbird may flit and navigate with ease among such treacherous tangles, but the grand elegance of the Swan with the arcing spread of her wings is not for such tangled and thorny corridors.
Medium: Watercolor
Size: 8.5x14 inches

It's really good, and incredibly easy to read. Finally a card that doesn't confuse the crap out of you, but is to the point.

The thorns make the picture. It automatically makes me move my eyes around the picture. I started with the swan, then the crosses and from the crosses my eyes skipped up the thorns to the dark, yet faded figure. I have to say, that's amazing.

This one is really nice. I like the particular detail and precision gone into this, and you've got just the right amount of strong colours in there too. Brilliant

Very cool.
Eight of Swords: Shortened force. Bad news. Violent chagrin, crisis, conflict, sickness
Reversed: Disquiet, difficulty, oppression, accident, treachery, unforeseen things.
would be some other aspects of this card

That's really pretty. This is a great picture and I love it.
I tried to take up taro reading. I'm not good at memorizing things though, but I have successfully made some predictions.
