Tarot of the Pomegranate

The Five of Swords

Two beings are in a dark forbidding forest, they sense an evil presense is near but cannot see it, they reach for their swords in preparation for battle.The dark being above them is manifesting into a twisted but deadly physical form that perfectly embodies its cruel intentions. Its sharp and deadly scimitar is stained red from all the human blood it has touched. Blood drained carcasses hang from the trees above, and the dark being sits like a spider in its nest ready to attack its next victims below. The blue hand coming out of the tree gives the two beings fair warning to listen to their intuition and to be on full alert, danger is near.
