The Ace of Swords: A Significant Breakthrough

Maria Sprow November 14, 2023

The Ace of Swords represents a new energy and a significant breakthrough. The Sword Force indications that doing so will require you to learn a new skill, but the challenge will be worthwhile.

The Magical Mushroom represents a new creative beginning or way of seeing the world. A powerful Sword is standing straight up from the ground under a powerful waterfall that stretches into the clouds. The Sword is perfectly balanced, held strong by a skillful force. Behind, a magical mushroom stands under a liquid rainbow. The rainbow and mushroom tell you it’s time to focus on the diversity of knowledge you need to really pursue the creative quests your Spirit desires of you.

You’ve had a project you wanted to work on for a long time sitting in the back of your mind; maybe something you’ve forgotten about, some planted seed that must have survived only off tiny drops of memory. Now is the time to water those seeds again, and see which ones have grown. Perhaps you’ll figure out how to finish a project long ago put on hold.

If you’re feeling blocked:
Your creativity block might stem from a hesitancy to share your idea and get feedback from others. Perhaps you’ve got too many unfinished projects already and you’re afraid to talk about them for fear that others will hold you accountable for not finishing. But there is no timeline for creativity. Some projects can percolate for years before lightning strikes. Instead of engaging in small talk, discuss your projects with people who ask how you’re doing; spend some time defining and planning your project.

Creativity exercises:

Go back in time by going through old photographs, keepsakes or artworks and choose something that catches your eye to “play” with or to re-create.

Create a mushroom house, collage or scene and get inspired by the magical role fungi plays in the cycle of life.

Tell a story of a significant breakthrough, whether real or fictional.

Incorporate an unusual spice into your next dinner.

If you’re searching for a “light bulb” aha moment, incorporate a light bulb into your nightly creation.
