Here is the next installment in my own Tarot design project over on DeviantArt using the Miku Miku Moving program. Please let me know what you think!
Not to worry, I’ll continue to feature the series I started with in the links below.
Today we’re featuring and exploring the Eight of Swords, the eighth card of the Sword Suit in the Minor Arcana.

What This Card Means to Me
I often wonder if the situation of feeling stuck, confused, or trapped is a results of the avoidant behavior warned about in the Seven of Swords and echoes the Two of Swords as yet another possible result. If we are willing to face the things at hand, we can address them. We can’t close our eyes, pretend everything is fine, and remain boxed in forever. Eventually we’ll need to do something. Sometimes the only way out is through.
The Music Playlist
In the spirit of all this, these are the songs picked out thus far for this card.
Do you have any songs you think should be on this list? Suggest them in the comments!
The Writing Prompt
Now as a writer with everything we’ve gone over with this card what comes to mind? Start writing! Doesn’t matter what it is. Stretch your mind and let The Eight of Swords speak to you.
I would love it if you linked or pinged back what you wrote so I could see where you went with this.
Happy writing!
