In most traditional tarot decks, pulling the Seven of Swords suggests you are being deceived, but in Joe Bandel’s Oak Tarot of Love and Romance, it signifies a radical shift toward quiet inner strength. This complete subversion of a centuries-old archetype forces us to look at the collateral damage that often accompanies personal authenticity. The Seven of Swords is generally the trickster card. It shows a thief sneaking away from a camp in the dead of night. Bandel, however, strips away the deceit and replaces it with a profound loss of innocence. We are looking at a relationship where one person has stopped performing their expected role, finding a steady center, while their partner is left watching from a distance, completely conflicted.
