I love the Pagan Tarot Deck's interpretation of the 10 of Swords. Usually, this card is brutal. A person collapse on the ground with all ten swords sticking out of their back. Here, you see this female witch breaking the swords apart with her feet:
"Determined to spend no more sleepless nights, our witch takes on her problems head on... You, too, have control over your life... Make up your mind to be strong and in control of your life and your magick."So inspired, so liberating, I want to believe this is true for me. In the cold heart of winter when life is so tough, it's hard not to give up and hibernate until spring. I have done it before. Somehow, I will find the strength to keep moving.
I walked off my path a long time ago, have been lost so long. This desert period is one of the longest I have had to endure. But endure it I will. Just don't ask me to like it or be happy about it.
What I do like most about drawing the 10 of Swords cards is it signifies the end of a painful cycle. A new life is about to begin. I don't know what that means in the context of my life but I do love change and the idea of a new cycle feels good to me.
Hopefully those swords are made of glass so I can break them with my old hiking boots and delicate feet.

I love that card!
My struggles have always been with the Tower. Why oh why does it have to come up so often? In my decks(Sacred Circle, Tarot of the Old Path) I struggle with the Tower a lot.
I just wish there was a way I could face change WITHOUT having it have to be catastrophic and starting from scratch. My Tower needs a makeover :)
You know Pam, the Tower is the only card that scares me. I can handle Death, the Devil even but the Tower? It's the worst because you can't really prepare for it. You can't see it coming. I really hope you get a tower makeover too!
Love your deck. I got a Davinci set last year.
With your birthday coming up, hopefully those changes will be right around the corner.
