See What is Shown

From the Granny Jones Australian Tarot, the Three of Swords; from the Button Oracle, Bugler:

People may not always tell you how they feel about you, but they will always show you. Pay attention.

 ― Keri Hilson

          The tradition of cutting a tie or scarf originally started with pilots; after successfully completing a solo mission, cutting the scarf meant they were no longer under the supervision of their instructors. In the Three of Swords, it suggests letting go of our attachment to someone in order to free ourselves from the power we've given them. Yet the swallowing of pride indicates a reluctance - likely because we fear what others will think. Ironically, most folks will already be aware that a husband is a cheater or a boss gives his employees managerial responsibilities while paying them like paupers. The Bugler, in historical times, was used to send messages to the troops during battle. It's message with this card might reflect the words of Charles J. Orlando: "You don’t let go of a bad relationship because you stop caring about them. You let go because you start caring about yourself."
