Whew—today, we’re diving straight into the belly of the beast with one of tarot’s most dramatic cards: the Ten of Swords.If you’ve ever pulled this card and thought, “Well, that’s it. I’m doomed,” you’re not alone. I’ve been there too—face down in the metaphorical dirt with ten metaphorical swords in my back. But spoiler alert: this card isn’t about defeat... it’s about rebirth.

In this episode, I walk you through the rich symbolism and imagery of the Ten of Swords—from the dark skies of despair to the golden rays of dawn that peek over the horizon. This card doesn’t whisper; it screams about endings. But if you look closer, you’ll see it also hums with the quiet promise of a new beginning.

We’ll explore the upright and reversed meanings of this card, including betrayal, burnout, acceptance, and the deeply powerful work of healing. If you’re feeling like you’ve hit rock bottom in a relationship, job, or spiritual path, this episode will help you understand why that’s not the end—it’s actually your moment of release. Think of the Ten of Swords not as the final scene in your story, but as the plot twist that sets up the comeback.

I also dig into the numerology of the number ten and how it represents completion, closure, and karmic cycles—a spiritualfull stop before the next sentence of your soul’s evolution. And yes, we’ll get mystical too.

I’ve included some powerful tarot correspondences, like crystals, herbs, and deities, that can support you through emotional and spiritual death-rebirth cycles. We’re talking Black Obsidian, Smoky Quartz, Sage, Rosemary, and the fierce magic of Kali and Hecate—all spiritual allies for release and transformation.

You’ll also learn how to incorporate the Ten of Swords into your daily mindfulness practice. Whether you’re a tarot newbie or a seasoned witch with a worn-out Rider-Waite deck, this episode is a reminder that the dark night of the soul always gives way to morning. You’re not being punished—you’re being rerouted.

So pour some tea, grab your journal (or your sword of discernment), and settle in. This one’s for the warriors who are still standing—even if it’s after a face-plant.

🎧 Listen now and find out how to turn endings into energetic resets.
