7) For The Love Of God Sound “Ancient” And “Wise”
For these kinds of confidence tricks it is essential that you appear to have some kind of otherworldly knowledge. To do this all you need to do is slip in some confident and confusing sounding catchphrases and you’ve nailed it.

Interestingly enough we have the “Five of Swords“, an important card within the lesser arcanum, traditionally associated with the challenge and struggle in affairs of the heart. What’s intriguing is that in the same conjunction of the spread we’ve already had “The Hermit“, originally one of the lower triad cards, but now generally regarded as indicating not only solitude but also accomplishment of personal goals… It’s as if the cards are suggesting your personal goals are, at this time, due to take priority over romance. I don’t know if this makes sense to you…
Even I’m convinced you’ve got power and skills now.
