What Does An Upside Down Horseshoe Mean Novels & Stories

She turned them around one by one and grabbed a book that had each meaning. "So, this one is "the high priestess", but it’s upside down. So that means a lost inner voice and repressed feelings. This one is "lovers", which means partnership or union. Don’t be scared about this one, but this is "Death"," she said, pointing to the third card. "It means the end of a cycle, new beginnings, or change. Well, there are two left. This one is "the emperor", which means authority and control, and then the last card is "judgment". It means awakening, reckoning, or reflection." I chuckled, "that’s a lot."

These signs will always become clear, in time. This section was followed by what seemed to be an arbitrary list of signs and their meanings, as interpreted by Rosie. These were harder to read, as though they had been scratched it with a quill and ink in a great hurry. I could just make out: Poor growth in herb garden often means an ending or an illness. Missing ring means I am looking in the wrong places for answers. Repeated images, often animals or images from the natural world, should be analysed individually. Look to key traits for further answers.

She was apparently very bored. "Listen," she ignores my expression. "The growling wolf in the center can mean a few things." Althea flips a few pages to show different etchings of the symbol. "But mostly what they have in common is the meaning of 'protection' or 'righting a wrong'. Then, I found this." She points at the symbol I keep seeing. She reads, "'This image of a wolf with the lips raised around the teeth usually means speaking up about what you dislike. This image has been associated with civil wars, rebellions, or uprisings against usurpers.'"

Ava blinked hard, “That one’s less clear than the first.” Marnie sighed, “It usually is, friend. This looks like it’s gonna be one of those sets that could have a few meanings. The Hanged Man, for instance, sounds scarier than he is but signifies…a cosmic deep breath, I think is the best way to put it. He reminds you that sometimes life makes you pause, and it’s up to you how you process things and proceed. The spinning indicates the presence of indecisiveness and a resistance to new perspectives.” Ava cocked her head to one side and stared blankly at the witch. Marnie blew out a breath, “You’re stalling. Or stuck. Most likely about a romantic partner. Ring any bells?”

Zuri hummed her agreement, then flipped the second card over. This one had a man standing at the edge of a cliff, wearing some sort of colorful outfit.

He walked over to the bronze horse and began scrutinizing it. It was strange. Sebastian had never noticed anything unusual about the bronze horse before. Why had Lyanna specifically asked for it? As he scrutinized it further, he realized something. Although the bronze horse's body was shrouded in dark energy, there were actually four red clouds on its hooves.
