I drew this card this morning and found it troubling so let it work in the back of my mind while focusing on other things. Now I know why I'm not keen on this rendition. To me it says 'crusader'. Reminds me of images in my childhood reading - ladybird books or sixties encyclopaedias? When history was the feats of great men on horses. In everyday life is there ever a need for a victory parade? Or just quiet words of thanks when things go well? My reaction to this card tells me I need to explore it more by doing a comparison with other decks. Perhaps it is good practice to look for the challenges in 'positive cards' and the opportunities in 'negative cards'. I'm still learning...
Oh no what's this
A spider web and I'm caught in the middle
So I turned to run
The thought of all the stupid things I've done
A spider web and I'm caught in the middle
So I turned to run
The thought of all the stupid things I've done
And oh I never meant to cause you trouble

Maybe the Six of Wands from the Wild Unknown tarot is more to you liking??

I DO like it thanks! Serenity rising above chaos and discord. It puts the 'victory' (or achievement) in context. Perhaps I should have put myself in the other card more thinking about what the victor might have done for the greater good?
