Lotus Circle: 8 of Swords

Eight of Swords

Lotus Circle 8 of Swords

A woman peers out of an upstairs window. The windows on the lower floor are barred by eight swords.

The Tarot of the Lotus Circle gives the following keywords for this card: Self-Imprisonment, Restriction, Crippling Fear, Denial, Imagined Helplessness, Victimization.

Traditionally, this is the “Damsel in Distress” card though not necessarily physical danger. Swords correspond to the element of Air, meaning intellectual matters. Historically, this card was interpreted as meaning a victim scandal, spread by lies and rumors.

If this card appears in answer to a yes or no question, the answer is No.

Ask yourself: What are you doing to keep yourself immobilized?

Lotus Circle: Four of Wands

I recently went to EPICon2010 in New Orleans and this card reminds me of the lovely Southern mansions in the area.

A couple stands at the foot of a staircase leading to a columned terrace. They seem to have come home.

In The Tarot of the Lotus Circle, Marilyn Campbell lists the following keywords for this card: Commitment; Contentment, Peace; New Home

The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Tarot Spreads Illustrated interprets the Four of Wands as follows:

This is where it all starts coming together. Celebration after hard work. Good foundation, strong and stable… can support the design of your dreams.

In a reading, it often points to success and prosperity.

If you’re looking for a yes or no, the answer is yes.

Lotus Circle Tarot: 7 of Wands

  • Posted on February 1, 2010 at 4:05 pm

I was introduced to this deck at the 2007 Romantic Times Booklovers Convention in Houston. Marilyn Campbell, who designed the deck and wrote the companion interpretive book, gave a workshop of Psychic Fiction. In the workshop, she read one or more cards for everyone present. The 7 of Wands was one of the cards I drew. I remember because she looked right at me and said, it doesn’t come faster if you push the button every five seconds. Or words to that effect. I laughed, but she was right on. I’m an Aries and I can be quite impatient at times.

In this card, a businesswoman stands waiting for an elevator. The companion book, Tarot of the Lotus Circle by Marilyn Campbell, Jasmine-Jade Enterprises, 2007, says:

Blockages; Minor Obstacles; Solvable Puzzles; Business negotiations are in order; Taking a stand. The change required at the moment is in your attitude.

If you draw this card when you’re looking for a yes or no answer to a query, the answer is clearly No.

This is a lovely deck, very contemporary, with a strong feminist feel. Unfortunately, it appears to be out of print at the moment, though a few are available through Amazon’s affiliates.
