Six of Swords

The Six of Swords shows a woman and a young child being rowed across a body of water  towards a nearby land. Her head is covered, suggesting sadness or loss as she moves away  from something in her past. Her child nestles in close to her body, looking for safety and  comfort as they make this journey together. In the boat stand six swords, suggesting that the  woman and child are still carrying memories or baggage from their past into their future. While the water on the right of the boat is turbulent, the sea ahead is tranquil. This imagery  suggests that they are leaving behind a tumultuous situation, bound for a more peaceful and  supportive environment.
