Question: What qualities/attributes do I bring to this relationship?

Deck: Radiant Rider Waite

Card: Two of Swords

51

Note: 3 of Cups fell out while shuffling indicating there is something else that I maybe should take a look at.

At first glace this struck me as a kind of disappointing card to draw as I don’t have many positive associations with this card as I do not like confusion. I’m one of those people who like to have a roadmap. The blindfold shows that I have no idea what is in store for me as my career has stalled and I’m still developing my changing relationship with the Divine. Not knowing where I am going means I have to trust the answers and messages that this deck provides me with. The two swords in a ‘probing’ position shows that I am ready to explore and learn new information. The moon indicates that I am willing to follow my dreams at this point. Stone seat that I already have a firm base of knowledge to draw upon when working with this deck. White tunic indicates that my intentions for undertaking this spiritual journey are pure, but the looseness of it implies that everything doesn’t fit yet. What I want/intend is still being shaped. The figure’s feet are touching the floor suggesting that I am grounded in my spirituality and I am beginning to act as a channel for the Divine. The green land and body of water suggests a support network and an environment where I can thrive as I progress along this current path as long as I keep trusting this deck.

On the downside, the blindfold could mean that I wilfully choose to ignore things that are right in front of me, especially things that do not fit in with my perceptions of the world. I get confused easily and worry about making mistakes and doing the right thing. I often need guidance, support and reassurance that I am doing the right thing or haven’t overstepped any boundaries causing offence. Crossed arms over my heart show that I often keep what I feel in my heart hidden from the rest of the world. This care reminds me of the High Priestess and my own reluctance to engage with the outside world. I prefer the confines of my own mind where I feel I can be at ease and be myself. Night sky also shows that I am prone to confusion, but also shows that is when my connection to the Divine is strongest.

One other thing I notice is the V or W shape made by the swords but I am not sure of the significance of it yet.
