The cards are BIG.. and done in a Fairy Tale motif (You'd LOVE
Sleeping Beauty as the Death card.) The colors are intense but rather
nice.
 
In the NINE of Swords.. a young boy is incircled by the nine swords
while a dragon incircles the swords and the child. In the 10 of
Swords.. the swords incircle the dragon who is also in a
circle.. swallowing it's tail somewhat like the Magician's
lemniscate. The boy stands outside the circle of swords holding a
flaming swords upside down.. point directed toward the Earth.
 
Part of the text:
 "You are now free to explore the start of a new cycle of conscious
awareness. You have worked very hard to overcome mental blocks and
tensions. You understand more about the courage it takes to cleanse
the mind of negative thoughts, for you have faced your dragon."
 
Overall.. the interpretatios in the book are nice. Quite positive and
gentle. What you might expect from a deck intended to be used for
'inner child' work.
 
The book came with the deck. It's by Isha Lerner and Mark Lerner and
it's published by Bear & Company.. if you want to give it a 'look
see'.
