Step 6 of 12 · Ragnarök and What Comes After
10 of Swords
Why this step
On this site the Ten of Swords is the bottom, decisively: a defeat with nothing held back, and the one honest comfort that there is nowhere lower to fall. Its reversed reading is the time after, when the blades stopped falling some while ago and the first small movement begins. Set beside the burning, it brings the scale down to one person lying still after the worst.
