Faith, Spirituality Or Psychic Progression:

Be very cautious about religious or spiritual gurus or leaders that require your money in exchange for so-called enlightenment. The truth is that you don’t necessarily need a leader to learn and grow spiritually. Explore on your own. Be careful with new-found spiritual friends.

The Seven of Swords can point to someone who is behaving with less than ethical intentions. It sometimes also means prying into someone’s life where you don’t belong. If you sense that someone is spying on you, you may be right. If you are tempted to dig through someone else’s life (unless it is that of your minor child who has given you cause for concern), resist the impulse. Everyone deserves privacy.

Book Details
Complete Book of Tarot: When upright, the High Priest is a wise, spiritually oriented guide to whom the querent has recourse. This person may be a kindly teacher, a mentor, or a spiritual adviser, not infrequently connected with a religious or academic setting. One role of the Hierophant is to perform sacred rites that pass traditional wisdom on to the next generation. The High Priest often officiates at ceremonies such as weddings, baptisms, bar mitzvahs, funerals, and the like. Because this priestly figure has authority to unite (‘hook’) couples in matrimony, this card can be a harbinger of marriage. In any case, when the Hierophant appears in a reading, you are likely to be dealing with the traditional values of your family, culture, or religion.

Reversed Cards: Have you ever had someone talk you out of doing something you knew you would eventually regret? If so, then you have experienced the Seven of Swords in the protection aspect in real life. In the upright position there tends to be a bit of an implosive energy to this card; it’s action without thinking about the long-term consequences. Here in the protection aspect, the reality of the future beyond the action looms large. Karmically speaking, when we take from others or deal with others with a vibration of ill intent, then that energy comes back and bites us in the ass. Having this card in the protection aspect is a blessing to your future self.
