VII · Minor Arcana · Swords
Seven of Swords
Swords is the suit of air — thought, conflict, and the truth told plainly.
Upright
stealth, evasion, acting alone
A figure creeps away from a camp with five swords, leaving two behind. This is the strategy that avoids direct confrontation — sometimes cunning, sometimes just cowardice with better PR. Upright, it asks what you are taking and why you are not asking for it openly.
Reversed
coming clean, exposure, returning what was taken
Reversed, the concealment ends. This can be confession, being found out, or the decision to stop working around a problem and finally name it. It also catches self-deception unravelling — the story you told yourself no longer holding.
Every draw here is a real quantum draw — Seven of Swords is one of the 78 you might get, and a friend of your choosing reads it aloud.
