I've seen my fair share of this one in my readings! Amazing work again Kippi, the production value of your videos is mad high. I've recommended your channel to some fellow tarot enthusiasts and they're blown away with the sheer effort, style and humour!

[@kippi]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it. I've had this one crop up more times than I'd like to remember too 🃏⛤

[@Veiledwitch]

This card has history with me. My bestie got this card in a reading from me, then she had an actual miscarriage. I didn't read for pregnant women for 20 years after that! Great video! So happy to see this video as soon as I opened KZbin! Thanks Kippi!

[@kippi]

I'm very sorry to hear that, I hope your friend is doing much better now 🙏⛤

[@olympic-gradelurker]

I pulled this card in a past, present future spread with this card as my past. I was asking specifically about where my spiritual path lies and I read this card as symbolizing my past religious trauma and spiritual despair. (my present and future were ace of cups reversed and 9 of wands, respectively). A pretty clear reading, I think. I haven't found what I needed yet, but don't give up (and keep good boundaries) Hope your views pick up! Looking forward to the pentacles!

[@awakeningenergywithin]

I got this card a lot when I was going through a really hard period of my life trying to figure out if my fears were real or just trauma , when I finally got the 10 I was so relieved 😅

[@kippi]

I know that feeling all too well! Moving on to the 10 has been like a breath of fresh air! 🙏⛤

[@tamieya05]

I got this card today...an will be meditating all day.

[@kippi]

That's the best course of action! 🙏⛤

[@KitsuneCentral]

One of my favorite Pink Floyd songs uses this card as the crux of it's meaning, along with the 6 of Swords... Childhood's End.

[@kippi]

That's so cool! One of my favourite bands & I didn't know it was based on those cards but it seems really obvious now! 🃏⛤

Thanks again for the lovely video, Kippi 🍄☺️✌️💕

[@noahjohnston9958]

If this were a Major Arcana card, it would be called "WAR", referring to the PTSD one might get from being shell-shocked by the horrors of war.

[@kippi]

That's a very interesting way of looking at it, trauma stays with us ⛤

[@philipcorrigan507]

Really good Way to Learn the cards. Very interesting and Really enjoyed the Video thank you 🙏

[@kippi]

Thanks Philip! A bit of a moody card but we're getting to the end now 🙏⛤

🤣🤣🤣 I like some of the Doors especially, People are Strange 😊 Made that mistake of saying something harsh a couple nights ago and it's amazing how people jump on that but don't remember anything good you say. Love you sense of humor. I have one myself and find that many dont anymore which is strange. TTYL 😊

[@kippi]

You can't beat a bit of classic Doors! I only ever seem to remember the bad things I've done & never the good 🤷⛤

[@MsHappyface5]

Ugh, this card is heavy. I spent a few years in my 20s living there. I like that you mentioned the direction of the swords. That's interesting. Another perfect video... and I love the Mark Twain quote ❤☆¤

[@kippi]

Oh no, I'm sorry to hear that. I hope things are much better now! I've been through some 9 of Swords times too, I always try to remember that quote wherever anxiety gets hold of me 🙏⛤

Hats off from india.. thanks a lot for valuable knowlge

[@kippi]

Thank you 🙏⛤

[@jaysonjackson3455]

An incredibly grim card. Worse when you consider that this is the suit of intellect. The worst state to be in is when you feel like your cynicism is just you being realistic and hope and optimism feel naive.

[@kippi]

That's very true but the occult philosophy is that it's all an illusion that we've convinced ourselves of. Good or bad ⛤

[@lxdr1f792]

Thanks. A bit uncanny this one. I was rolling around in bed last night unable sleep. On the flip side the sun is out now and im sitting under it resting.

[@kippi]

Sounds like a perfect Saturday morning! I'm doing the same with a coffee ☕ ☀️

[@B.Dazzeled-cj4ss]

Rest well 🙏 interesting that you mentioned, This too shall pass , as a Persian adage, was that the original language that it was translated from in the Bible ?

[@kippi]

I'm not aware of that quote coming from the Bible but everywhere I look says it's Persian. The Bible was written in Hebrew, Greek & Aramaic ⛤

[@lyngraysight]

I thought 9 of swords was about waking from a nightmare to learn reality isn't as bad as the one thought...?

[@kippi]

That's an excellent analogy. Although it refers to a real situation, we do tend to make things worse by overthinking & catastrophizing ⛤

[@peacefultarot]

Can you image how many tarot readers there are in the world, but not of it, and the millions of ways each reader interprets the card's meaning/understanding/energy?! Many paths to the top of the mountain!

[@lyngraysight]

*as one thought

[@peacefultarot]

First yay🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@kippi]

Woohoo! 🏆⛤

[@robertranford1359]

It’s always darkest before the dawn, I wander if this quote drew inspiration from tarot? Especially as we see light breaking through the darkness in the ten of swords, almost as if to say you’ve survived

[@kippi]

That's exactly what's happening with the 10 & you'll see that quote in the next video 🌞 it works with the Moon card too 🌙⛤

[@angevontibs]

Aww poor love - still, chin up, she's got a lovely duvet! 🛌 and it could be worse, could be Lord of the Dance! I wonder Peter Andre was under the influence of the nine when he wrote Insania 🤔

[@kippi]

Flatly my dear, I don't Riverdance!🕺 It certainly is a smashing quilt, I hope that, through all of the despair, that fact isn't lost on her ⚔️⛤

[@angevontibs]

@kippi she may be 'clinically feed up', but I'm sure if she went for a nice walk or gave some money to some starving orphans, she'd be right as nine pence 🪙

[@kippi]

@@angevontibs she could take them to a local fort or a Victorian folly. A friend of mine once took some disadvantaged kids to see a horse. You can't buy moments like that

[@angevontibs]

@kippi were they deaf offenders? Did she take them to the beach and all they'd done is dug a big hole 🕳 ⛱️

[@kippi]

@angevontibs I think they were disaffected youth. The radio 1 generation with their walkmans & roller skates! 🎧🛼

[@trippy6183]

“My least favourite card” haha I have a tattoo of this card. What does that say about me? Thank you for your work! 🌈

[@trippy6183]

I also love Nietzsche 😂😂😂

[@kippi]

No way, I bet that looks really cool! This is the card that always freaks me out when it turns up but I have to keep reminding myself about the self discovery aspect 🤔 I recently started Thus Spoke Zarathustra, it's a tough read but I'm getting there! I love the correspondences to the Hermit card ⛤

[@JanaAngelicaCatudan]

black for me is nothingness, peace, contrast Which I need for my eyes 🤣 my applications are always on darkmode so I can see what is written

[@kippi]

I'm a dark mode fan too! Bright white screens are far too much for me these days 😵‍💫

[@JanaAngelicaCatudan]

it's okay to be an over thinker if you have optimism supporting it

[@JanaAngelicaCatudan]

fear fear's optimism

[@kippi]

In the case of the 9 of Swords 'overthinking' would refer to taking a bad situation & making it worse by catastrophizing. I've certainly done plenty of that! ⚔️⛤

[@sweetccnz3338]

Oh my G....is it Thursday yet???....😂 if I tried to tell you about this 10 of swords week ...you wouldn't believe it anyways🤯🤣🤣....you'll have to wait for it to come out in movie Form ...the divine is definitely directing this convulted yet profoundly magical autobiography of mine//one/source 😂😂😂

[@kippi]

@@sweetccnz3338 that all sounds fantastic but don't get carried away on the blackjack table! That's my weakness, I think I must just have a thing about cards in general? Anyway, make sure you keep enough money for gas (I'm trying to use the US terms). You don't want to get stranded in the desert 🚐🏜️

[@sweetccnz3338]

@@kippi nah all the machines are new and I'm more old school....I had a great dinner and then promptly took myself back to the rv camp.....a wandering Fool knows when to hold em and knows when to walk away from throwing away their gas money.....🤣 there will be time to play when we get out of the swords and into the pentacles ....no joke .. hopefully the 10 f swords with its sun coming up lands me in a less precarious energy...🙈🤣🤣

[@kippi]

@@sweetccnz3338 oh no, I can't do machines. I didn't even know they made blackjack machines? It just wouldn't be the same without a proper croupier!!! 🃏 The Pentacles are the suit of money and material things so hopefully we're all due a massive windfall soon! I, Kippi, could certainly do with some of that action 💰🤑 I hope things are going well in the arid wilderness and the minivan is holding up with plenty of air conditioning for maximum comfort! ☀️❄️⛤
