Ten of Feathers (trimmed): ©Margarete Petersen Tarot |
Margarete Petersen brings that sense of
oppression that’s often associated with the Ten of Swords to her Ten of
Feathers – the darkening colour scheme of the Eight and Nine carry on into the
Ten. A battered feather lies on the ground, but to me it seems less battered
than in previous cards. I also feel that despite the darkness of the colours,
there is a lightening across the sky with those swathes of crimson – the dawn
approaching? To me the Ten of Swords
embodies the saying ‘it’s always darkest before dawn’, and I can really see and
feel that here.
Petersen writes in her LWB “you have
experienced fear without being destroyed….The choice is yours. You can always
leave the realm of your nightmares. Put a stop to old patterns…”
Shadows come to rest
Banish fears to the darkness -
Dawn breaks every day.
Margarete Petersen Tarot, AGM-URANIA, 2004.
