I use tarot and oracle cards as tools for reflection and contemplation. Rather than divining the future, they are a way for me to look more deeply at the "now."

Execution

From the Norse Tarot, the Ace of Swords; from the Viking Lenormand, the Scythe:

Ideas are easy. It's the execution of ideas that really separates the sheep from the goats.
― Sue Grafton

The Ace of Swords can represent a new idea for a project, a solution to a problem or a way to express oneself in order to help someone understand us. But it should be noted that this sword is pointing downward, suggesting the information has registered but we need to act on it, to ground it in reality. Otherwise it's like an important letter that we throw in the trash without opening. The Scythe represents a time of harvest or a happening that instigates great change. With the Ace of Swords, we have the resource we need, now we just need to use it to create the innovation or transformation we seek.
