From the Tarot de St. Croix, the Six of Swords; from the Archetype Cards, the Samaritan:
On most RWS based decks, the Six of Swords usually shows the swords in the boat with the seafarers. Yet St. Croix's card shows them passing through a dark tunnel, leaving the swords bolted above the opening. Sixes are about a return to harmony and balance. It's easy to blame any dissension and conflict on others rather than think it is rooted in the rigid opinions and beliefs we hold. Samaritan refers to the biblical parable about helping someone who's supposed to be one's enemy - but the catch is to do it without expecting recognition or thanks for the aid given. The false self is always looking for a way to shore itself up. It needs to be right and the smartest, to always be complimented and put on a pedestal. If we fall under its sway, it will twist our motives and our relationships. Only the desperate will want our crap on a cracker.
