the artwork of fives of knives has a very specific and personal meaning for me. it comforts me and reminds me im being watched over in my most vulnerable state

The timing of this video feels so resonant. I was journaling about feeling emotionally drained by others, feeling buffeted or overcome by others’ energy, and how I could protect myself and my energy better, and then I opened KZbin and this was at the top of my feed. Thank you for this! Lots to think about ❤

I loved your interpretations, I also see it as taking advantage of a situation, person, or yourself. Taking yourself, others, or a situation for granted. Or taking more than giving and something being one sided. 🤗

Thank you Raecine, this video is extremely timely. I've pulled this card (from the TOV) two times so far this moon cycle. The Universe must have known I needed to hear someone else's take on this card, to validate my own feelings.

I ordered my 3rd copy of TOV 4 days ago when I realized it’s out of print!! 5 of knives always shows up when I’m dealing with insecurity of some sort or mental conflict in my love connections!

This card came up two days in a row for me this week... I put it right back the first day, haha ;) The 5 of swords in Mystical Moments Tarot is my favorite right now... I love the velvet stitches and how she's holding the wound in her hand. So good. XO

My deck was not new 😞 and when I received it there was no book 😭 But I found one !!! And I love it. Get it yall !!! If you can.

The five of swords has only shown up for me in conjunction with a reversed emperor. Manipulation was definitely a theme here (as the cards depicted a man I had to deal with in my life at that time), but not as subtle as in the seven, rather upfront and in my face. It was very fitting with this person's attitude and this dominant, suppressive energy of the emperor in reverse. Therefore I am definitely biased about the card, but I will immediately come back to this video if the five ever decides to show up solo in my daily draw. Thank you for the wisdom, love.

I experience the 5 of swords usually as a scolding by peers.

I concur! I also see the 5 of Swords as cutting out loses and walking away from drama and manipulation while learning our own spiritual lessons. Thank you, Racine. Blessings! 😊❤

@ I don’t have that same card Racine showed us. The illustration does appear peaceful to me rather than on the Rider Waite tarot? As for interpretation, take into account the surrounding cards and then go with your intuitive feelings? That’s what makes each reader special! Blessings! 🧡🧡🧡

I feel this card, especially in TOV, has a deep connection to Lilith, both in light and darkness, and all the inbetweens.
@M155ABYSS9 күн бұрын
With all the fives I always feel an “otherness”. There’s either some outside force trying to impose its will or keep me from something, or the querent (or me if im asking for myself) is being “othered” in some way. I agree with the manipulation aspect in the swords suit. I never see the fives as something overt in the way that sevens are, it’s usually shrouded in some way, passive aggressive or with a hidden agenda.
@Steffi_Kiyoshi9 күн бұрын
For me the card, other than the traditional meaning, often comes up for a person themselves (or myself) while no other people are involved to not be too harsh on yourself, not punishing yourself by wanting to adjust or do things in a certain way that doesn't work for you, to not criticise yourself all the time. Of course this card also comes up when others around people are the ones that are being harsh but most often when a person is on themselves.
