Oh. It is good to share our different experiences. I did shadow work with it, maybe this is why I found it troubling.
It is that's why I love it here; I appreciate all perspectives and I could totally see it from your view
The 8 and 9 of swords has been following me ever since I've picked up my first deck of cards ( a little over a year ) so even in a deck like the Tarot of the Magical Forest those images can be too much for me sometimes because they are too close to the RWS.
I also love the Zombie Tarot again not exactly light and fluffy but does help you find humor when you are feeling like your world is coming to an end.
