Sulis
All is dark, it is the middle of the night and the moon wanes in the star-filled sky.
In the foreground is a man who stands astride a chasm.
He stands with his knees bent in a pose that reminds me of some sort of martial arts pose.
He holds a sword in each hand and he stands so that the swords are horizontal across his body with one arm up and one arm down.
He is blindfolded.
He looks as if he is defending himself but from what?
Below him in the valley between the cliffs on which he stands we can see a river which leads to the sea.
A white rabbit sits at his feet watching him.
The whole scene has a very Zen-like feel to it.
He almost looks as if he is meditating..
He has his back to the ocean and he is blindfolded and also in a defensive position.
I think that he is blocking out his emotions (represented by the sea).
He is defending himself from emotional input and is trying to think logically.
He may have 2 opposing viewpoints and he is holding off from making a decision or maybe he is mediating between 2 opposing sides and so is trying to keep emotions out of it.
The rabbit adds to the feeling of calm...
Rabbits are shy creatures so this guy must have been standing like this for quite some time for the rabbit to pluck up the courage to get this close.
There is a great sense of peace with this card but there is also a feeling that this man cannot sustain this pose for much longer.... Something has got to give.
A decision needs to be made but at the moment it isn't being made.
Twos are related to The High Priestess and so speak of reflection and of that moment of calm before a decision is made and action is taken.
