From Roza’s deck
Ten of Swords
rock bottom · ending · the worst is over
Ten swords in the back at dawn — a definitive ending; overdone, complete, and survivable. The sun rises behind it.
Reversed, it falls differently: Refusing the ending's finality, or slowly rising from it.
For the heart: This version of the story is over — fully; the dawn behind it is real.
For bread and coin: A collapse or betrayal ends the chapter; it cannot get more finished.
For the road ahead: When it is this over, you are free — stand up with the sunrise.
A card on a page is a word, child. A card your own hand draws is a sentence. There is a difference.
Every dawn one card waits face-down on my table — come and turn yours. Or bring the cards a full question: the table is there.
