"Goal: 6 of swords, reversed. Shows a man in a boat with swords in it, floating without his guidance into a cave. Trip to higher consciousness is advised. Reversed it means you have doubts about obtaining your goal. I asked her, "Doubts about achieving it or doubts about wanting to achieve it? "Excellent question," she replied"
She wants to do what it takes to break the spell on her daughter, but does she want magic to stay in her life? Does she want to become the kind of person who talks to fish? Once you admit you can hear them do they ever shut up?
Another thing that springs to mind here, thinking about the reading as applied to Solveig, is the incident at the Aquatennial Milk Carton Boat races, where Solveig falls out of the boat and a fish talks to her, for the first time since her father's death. She is taking a journey, literally, to the "cave" i.e., under the water's surface where the fish swim, the realm of the unconscious, death, magic, mystery. When she emerges, she will have to decide what to do with the knowledge she has gained. Will she deny it? Or admit that she has had winter magic in her all along?
