Contracts with spirits are an interesting thing. It's easy to remember the part you want, the demands you make, but people frequently forget that every exchange must be equal and every spirit has it's own wants. Writing only your side of the pact is like leaving someone a blank cheque, someone who may have really messed up demands. Forgetting about promises to the other side can end even worse - it's one thing to just not get what you want, it's another when the spirit retaliates against you.
I'm getting good at pacts and spells, but I mustn't let it get to my head. Just a few spirits making a clear deal with me is not yet mastery, just a few spells working is not yet expertise. I need to learn more and always check before making my next step...
And onto the next card!
Three of Swords is considered a "heartbreak card" due to it's imagery of three swords piercing a heart.
In fact however this card should be called "disappointment". Facts don't care about your emotions. This is the first truth someone focusing on their intellectual journey must learn, and one that often hurts the most.
Three of Swords imagery is more about logic and truth hurting emotions than about a specific event like heartbreak. Card symbolises blatant honesty hurting someone's feelings. A reveal of truth that shatters one's world-view. Painful source of clarity.
In reverse card speaks about miscommunication hurting feelings. About emotions enduring despite the facts. About forgiving someone for being right.
If Three of Swords is a question, it's "Can you accept the truth?"
If Three of Swords is a problem, it's truth you cannot accept happily.
If Three of Swords is a solution, it's brutal honesty even if it may hurt someone.
If Three of Swords is a trait, it's either honesty or ability to re-evaluate your world view in spire of emotions.
If Three of Swords is an advice, it's to face the truth and work through emotional pain.
