Trying to make up a story about a card? Use all your senses to spark your imagination.
If you were on the card, what would you smell? Smoke? Perhaps the man in the Seven of Swords set a fire as well as stole some swords.
Touch? Those swords must be cutting his hands, unless he is trying to hide toy swords, as a prank. Or maybe they’re wood swords from a play.
Taste? Is that blood on the swords? Perhaps the fight is still going on, and this man is trying to escape from it?
Hear? Are those sounds from a heated battle, or the quiet of a camp after a hard day’s fighting? Or perhaps he hears the sounds of pursuit?
Use your senses to explore potential interpretations of a card.
