Sulis
This card reminds me very much of the Rider-Waite-Smith version of the card.
Against the violet background of the Swords suit we see a person surrounded by swords.
His hands are behind his back, presumably they are bound together and around him are eight downward pointing swords.
Two of the swords are embedded in the ground right in front of his feet.
He looks downcast.
I think of this card as the 'white noise' card.
This is a card about being and feeling trapped, trapped by one's thoughts.
Eights to me are related to Justice and so are about balance and in the Eight of Swords we see thoughts or communication that are out of balance.
This card is about having so many thoughts in your head (white noise) that you don't know which way to go and so are paralysed by your own sense of indecision.
The advice of this card then is to try to still your mind so that movement towards some sort of balance can be achieved.
