Eight of Swords

Description

This was to be an entry for a challenge but I've changed my mind. It can stand on it's own as a design for a tarot card.

Eight of Swords ...the card of entrapment.
A young woman stands alone, bound, blindfolded and imprisoned by eight swords.
The suit of Swords is associated with the Air symbol, the apex-high triangle with a line parallel to the base. Air carries away troubles, blows away strife, and carries positive thoughts to those who are far away. Air is associated with the colors yellow and white.
EIGHT: The intermediary between terrestrial order (the square) and eternal order (the circle), associated with the balancing of forces or with the equilibrium of different forms of power. The number of regeneration, genius, strength, inspiration, evolution, justice.
SWORD: Protection, knowledge, mind, constructive or destructive activity, elimination of outworn forms.
BLINDFOLD: Not focused on materialism and inner vision at the expense of outer.
BOUND HANDS: A perception that limitations on the current situation are not in your control.
