From the Victorian Romantic Tarot, the Queen of Swords; from the Dreaming in Color Deck, Seduction:
When you know what a man wants, you know who he is, and how to move him.
―George R.R. Martin
The Queen of Swords takes us to the mountain top and asks, "What is it that you deeply desire, that you crave?" She then would tell us that thing (or person) is what may compromise our integrity. Seduction in psychological terms is the process of deliberately enticing a person to engage in some sort of behavior. We become willing to bend the truth, omitting or exaggerating details; we may do things that oppose the values we claim to uphold. We sacrifice truth and principles for a brief bit of comfort and convenience that won't last. Like the bull's ring in his nose, we need to be aware of what may be used to control us.
