The Warrior is poised, one foot on the edge of the battlements, ready to lash out at the soldiers climbing beneath him.
What I notice about the spears of the men beneath is that they are all pointing skywards - are they raised in attack or are the soldiers just holding them up as they climb towards the fort? Are they his enemies? Or are they just weary brothers in arms?
While this card can speak of the bravery involved in taking action when all others stand still, it can also warn us against lashing out at those whom we PERCEIVE are attacking us.
His Wand has no metal tip and the oncoming soldiers' weapons all do - so, one thing's for sure, the lone warrior is in for an almighty struggle!
If you had a pole (which is what his Wand is, really) and a SWORD, would you go for the sword or the Wand to mount your defence?
Me too :-D
So while the card's interpretations indicate confrontation and overcoming challenges, we should also bear in mind that acting in the heat of the moment can result in us hitting out at people who are not actually our enemy and being poorly prepared for the ensuing fight!
What challenges face you?
How can you turn your challenge into an opportunity?
What can you do to avoid knee-jerk reactions?
