Standing, her eyes bound and her hands tied, a woman stays inside a circle of blades, a castle on the height. The ground in front of her stays free, nothing holds her feet.
Examining each constraint brings down the ones that no longer hold: the ties and the blindfold hide a freedom the ground under your feet confirms.
The rules you give yourself close in: you refuse before you read, and you wait on the spot for a permission that does not come, while the ground stays free.
RWS. Eight of Swords. The cloth over the face takes up an attribute of Justice: here, the blinding turns back against the one who wears it.
Take the constraint that blocks you most and write the proof it rests on. If the proof is missing, treat it as a hypothesis.
