The Weight and Gift of Healing in Truth
By TMLD

The Three of Swords is one of the most misunderstood cards in the deck. It’s not here to punish. It’s here to witness what hurts, so it can be freed. This card shows up when something deep within you is ready to be named, held, and released.
The Energy of the Three of Swords, you may be carrying:
A silent grief or unresolved emotion
A truth you've been avoiding
A wound that needs space to breathe
This card doesn’t force healing. It makes room for it, through emotional honesty. There is wisdom in the wound. The Three of Swords asks:
What pain have you been denying, diminishing, or distracting yourself from?
What would shift if you gave it space, without shame?
There is dignity in grief. And there is grace in the letting go.
