Zwaarden · VII
Zeven van Zwaarden
Strategy in a grey light. This can be tact, theft, a necessary unofficial exit, or the part of you that will not fight fair because the camp was never fair. Name the ethics out loud to yourself.
- ELEMENT
- lucht
- GETAL
- Seven — test of stance: leaving camp with five, two left in the ground.
- TEKENS
- a figure in profile, arms full of five swords, stepping away from a tented camp · two swords remaining in the earth, what could not be carried or what was left as decoy · a yellow sky, the odd light of a strategy that is not quite day · a look back, cunning mixed with the knowledge of being seen
RECHTOP
- +cleverness in an uneven field
- +taking only what is yours, even if the taking looks sideways
- +knowing when not to announce the plan
- −betrayal of a trust you actually had
- −living as if everyone is a camp to raid
- −pride in being the one who got away
- IN DE LIEFDE
- A secret, a half-truth, an exit in progress. If you are the camp, ask what was actually taken. If you are the figure, ask whether the five swords are yours.
- IN HET WERK
- Office politics, IP, a quiet job search. Strategy is allowed. Theft of dignity is not.
- IN HET ZELF
- You may need a sideways move. Do not build a self out of never being catchable.
OMGEKEERD
The figure is caught, confesses, or turns back — or the strategy goes fully underground.
- Geblokkeerd — de rechtopstaande stroom bestaat en is gestuwd.
- Schaduw — het ongebruikte gezicht van de kaart.
- Verinnerlijkt — het drama is innerlijk, niet wereldlijk.
Reversed Seven of Swords can be a return of what was taken. Shadow Seven doubles down on the sneak. Inner Seven is a private plot you have not tested against ethics.

WAT WE OVER DEZE PLAAT NIET ZULLEN ZEGGEN
- someone is lying to you, beware a thief
- play dirty, everyone does
- you're a fraud and they'll find out
