1. The Eight of Pentacles

A man labours over the coins. Each coin represents one coin time.

2. The Ace of Swords

The Sword decapitates the king and takes his crown.

3. The World.

When we look upon the world rationally it looks rationally back.

The reading

A man is hard at work making horseshoes. There are eight. Can we assume they are for two horses? A masked assassin bursts in and cuts off his head. His cloth cap falls to the floor and reveals a golden coin. The assassin takes the coin but doesn’t realise that it will bring him great misery.
