Upright
Someone sneaks out of camp with an armful of others' swords, certain they have outsmarted everyone — this is the card of cunning, of a plan carried out in the shadows. Sometimes it is a wise strategy, sometimes a deceit that will catch up with you. Be honest with yourself about which of those two paths you are actually on.
Reversed
The secret comes to light — yours or someone else's — and it is time to give up the game of hiding. Conscience catches up with you, or you finally catch the one who has been deceiving you. The oracle says: what was carried in shadow now demands the light, and it is better to bring it out yourself than to be exposed.
