From the Tarot of the Sidhe, the Ten of Dreamers; from the Green Man Tree Oracle, Aspen (Éabhadh):
In this Ten of Dreamers/Swords card, trees are uprooted amid a waterfall of blood. We can be so intoxicated with excitement as we shape our plans that we forget to test our ideas against reality. For some of us, it takes a lot of misery before we're ready to give up those dreams. But like a closed fist, we can't receive anything better if we don't open our hand/mind. Aspen (Éabhadh) is a tree that often grows in stands, colonies that share one giant root system. It reminds us that we need the support of other people. Rationalization can keep us from seeing uncomfortable realities, but others can help us see through these defenses, showing us the benefits and drawbacks of our ideas.
