From the Russian Lubok Tarot, the Page of Swords; from the Marseille Oracle, Fantasy:
A curative fantasy is a personal myth that we use to explain what we think is wrong with us and our lives and what we imagine is going to make it all better. Practice is characterized by a deep acceptance or surrender to life as it is.
—Barry Magid
As he imagines a bear about to attack, this Page tries to do a sword maneuver and barely misses his foot. In the realm of intellect and speech, he thinks he knows a lot and can express himself well, though reality tells a different tale. He's like the fellow in a debate whose words actually give the other side more ammunition. The Fantasy card hints at what is holding this young fellow back: he likes to fantasize about his successes more than he likes to learn or practice skills. Time to buckle down and study, young man.
