Interpretation
Three crimson swords strike through the Eye of Horus—a symbol of protection, clarity, and divine insight. Here, the protective gaze is pierced, and truth cuts through illusion. The background swirls with yellow-gold leaves and fine lines, echoing both fire and motion, as if something long-held is finally unraveling. Pain is not hidden here. It is centered.
This card doesn’t shy away from heartbreak, betrayal, or emotional pain. But in the Blue Wood, grief has purpose. It clears away false hope. It exposes what’s real. The pain here is sharp but necessary—it leads to awakening, not collapse. The eye remains open, even as it’s struck. That is your strength.
There is also symbolism in the layered lines and rhythmic wave patterns behind the central form—loss is not a single moment. It ripples. But so does healing.
Questions to Ask
- What truth have I been avoiding, and what happens when I face it?
- How can I honor my pain without letting it define me?
- What can this wound teach me about my heart?
Blue Wood Note:
Pain is a messenger—not a punishment. The Three of Swords reminds you that the heart can break open… and in doing so, it makes space for something more honest and whole.
