Four of Swords
This is a sanctuary of healing stillness. Three swords hang on a stone wall, and the fourth lies beside a resting figure, who is covered with a blue cloak in a serene chapel, symbolizing the need to pause, recover energy, and reflect on the past. Sunlight filters through the stained glass, casting soft light, as if declaring: The power of peaceful rest has arrived, waiting for you to recharge and return with renewed strength. This is the gift of stillness, the refuge of tired souls, and a pure transition from exhaustion to vitality.
