#maybe its both cards at the same time🤷‍♀️
so yeah umm
so i had this amazing post by @frog-person in my drafts
and !! it made me want to talk about tarot but i didn't want to bogart the post so hahah call it inspiration
here we go~
Tumblr media
if you count all the swords in this frame there is at least 4 unless i'm missing one and my narrative instinct is to go to tarot and that may be trite but eh i'm having fun 😊
Tumblr media
its not an exact parallel but i am compelled about how theirs one focal point sword like in the card and three that are else where, and the three are seemingly stabbing aziraphale in the back ???!!
the Four of Swords in either way you read it is about stopping, taking a rest, recouping, its also about sanctuary and taking the time for deep contemplation or meditation, trying to cultivate peace (👀)
Very compelling with this being an episode were the two of them feel like they're safe and are goofing around practically on a date like nothing can hurt them, and possibly maybe meditating on some thoughts about their...future?? maybe ? hmm??
In its true reverse meaning though, its almost always interpreted as 'holding off the battle for another day, knowing that there is a lingering threat, taking respite for now because something is coming.'
I feel like this is very salient, but nothing we didn't already know right? even beyond Furfur and the Nazi Zombies on their trail, in a handful of decades theirs gonna be a dang apocalypse so yeah, you two get all the fun in while you can says the universe.
bUT maybe the three swords in Aziraphales back don't signify and maybe we're supposed to focus on the one sword through their hands so
Tumblr media
I mean if it is the Ace of Swords, we have to read it reverse right? Its going down into their hands by the blade, and boy
oh boy oh boy
The Ace of Swords in a reversed position tells us that their is confusion, misunderstandings and miscommunication, usually read as blocking interpersonal relationships that you're seeking to cultivate.
I also see it read a lot as a rigid routine (in life but also in relationships) that no longer serves but will be pretty painful to let go of, but ultimately would be better for you to do so.
The whole vibe of the card is escaping or being trapped and having all the power to get out of it but just needed the bravery to escape.
i-
i'm gonna go lay down in the lake see ya.
