VI of Swords Spell
My ears are open and my eyes are bright.
I'm kinda hoping there's some light.
I come from darkness
and from shadows.
The past path, paved
with lies and secrets,
brought out my weakness.
It cut my feet with its bleakness.
I'm hitting the road
Trying to find a different abode.
I'm ringing in a new role.
I'm out of control!
In fact, I'm the star!
I'm busting out of my bell jar.
I've smashed and crashed out of it.
The loudness of my freedom
couldn't be contained in it.
I'm not your misfit!
You're the ill fit.
Now, I'm flying away.
Into the color and out of the gray.
Carry me from all I remember
but not so far that I forget.
Lift me with forgiveness
and forgive this wrath and regret.
I pack my bindle
but it's not a burden:
my past is an asset.
The dark inside me
stayed with the warden.
My troubles,
they bubble...
My cunctation in this narration
has caused them agitation.
But, they elevate me to a higher vibration.
I'm fetching for friendship and pure elation.
I'm ready to travel beyond my backyard.
I'm ready to fire my heart's guard.
This rocky road has really hurt.
My legs are aching and my brain is burnt.
The path ahead seems safer, more still.
I'm aware there will be plenty of hills
in the future, yet right now it's tranquil.
But the newness,
the trueness,
gives me chills.
And, this time I'll be able to choose my thrills.
I've got love in my heart
and gratitude for all I see.
I'm going to make a new start...
full of infinite possibility.
Carry me from all I remember
but not so far that I forget.
TRAVEL, MOVING UP AND AWAY, USING YOUR PAST AS AN ASSET
Sixes mean harmonious balance in your life. This can relate to the VI of Swords because you’re in need of taking all the harsh lessons of your past and using them to lift you up and out of your current situation. It’s time to take a journey. It might be actual travel or just an emotional vacation. Don’t let that bindle of swords harm you on the way to your new destination. Instead, pack them away with care and healing so they don’t poke you anymore. Let that balloon carry you to a new future filled with different situations and challenges. It’s not going to necessarily be an easier time; but, you’ll be equipped with the lessons you needed to be prepared to succeed.
Eight’s Insight: Check that baggage and make sure it’s what you want to be packing with you. Do you need all those old memories if you didn’t learn from them? Do you need to backtrack and let some stuff go before you can move up and away to a better place? Don’t take every single thing you own with you on your way out the door. Only take what you need and want that has a purpose. It’s okay to not carry around every single bad or unfortunate event that happened. You can say goodbye to things that don’t serve you, that you’ve already healed, or that didn’t even get any closure. If it’s not welcome in your life anymore, just let it be and understand it was just something that needed to happen to get you where you’re going or where you already are.
