Three of Swords
The Fool now journeys to the Three of Swords and finds heartbreak, tears, upset, and disappointment on his travels. Words and actions have caused pain, yet they bring truth and liberation, wanted or not. He feels angry and lost, and he needs to vent these emotions in a healthy way in order to move on. He has suffered a loss and needs time to take each tear as it comes.
Here we find sadness. We can feel enraged, full of anger, down, miserable, or grieving the losses and pains we have encountered.
It’s ok to feel sad, to cry and rant, to rage and "feel", even if we would rather not. Heartbreak, heartache, and tears are brought to the forefront as a situation will cause emotional distress.
We don’t hold it in here; we let it out and give the frustrations time and space to be vented, as our disappointments need to be expressed. Life can feel unfair, just as it can be unfair, and we need time to sit with those feelings and work our way through them right now.
Life is not all gains; it comes with its fair share of losses, and you may be feeling the outcome of an old loss or a new one through disruptions and losses grave and small that hurt deeply.
Both what has happened, been said, done, or been forced on you will leave you hurt, as will the consequences that have been left for you to deal with.
If sadness arises, stay with it for a while.
In all lives, rain must fall; don't bottle it up.

Wonderfully insightful and informative. Thank you so much.

My book arrived this week. Yes!
The Universal Waite Tarot deck shows Pamela Coleman Smith’s artwork recoloured by Mary Hanson Roberts. The line-art is clean with non-blurry lines and beautifully coloured, of course.
I am house-sitting for my son for two weeks so decided to also buy the ebook from Amazon Kindle. I’ll leave the hardcopy at home so it doesn’t weigh-down my suitcase. It’s a 427 page book, so very thick!
I’ve only read the introduction and The Fool so far. What I like so far, is the way the Fool’s meaning is described in detail, referring to colour, symbols, and zodiac and astrological associations. All important details for me to remember and learn. There is a lot to learn, to enjoy and to gradually remember. I say gradually, as it’s not about memorising but savouring the details. This is not a book with keywords, although there is a “In a nutshell” summation at the end of each long description for the card. The long description (often three pages in length) is followed by two shorter ones (less than one page long) for upright and reversed meanings. In these shorter sections, keywords are in bold-type. It’s far easier to remember them when they’re given in a story-like context rather than as a separate list to memorise.
I can see myself using this book as my primary resource for years!
This began as sharing a photo and ended up as a short review for those who have not yet bought Pam’s book.
My advice is to not hesitate.
