Eight of Swords Description:
An elemental is bound and blindfolded, with eight swords surrounding them. The swords represent thoughts and beliefs that are holding them back from achieving their full potential. Interestingly, the bindings are not tight, and they could remove their blindfold and easily escape their predicament. However, the fact that they remain bound and blinded suggests that they are trapped by their own limiting beliefs. This card serves as a reminder of the ways in which our thoughts and beliefs can hold us back. Even when we have the power to break free from our limitations, we may find ourselves feeling stuck and unable to move forward.
