19 – The Sun: This is the Dagaz Rune card. It means day, awakening, illumination and hope. This is why I thought of the Sun card. What better card says day and awakening than the Sun?
Nine of Swords:
This is the Deals in the Dark card. It says that you walk in dark paths that seem ominous, but there are things you can only find there in the dark. This is a card about overcoming your fear to try new things as much as it's about shadow work and finding value in the night.
Some people find power and faith in things that are pure and divine and full of light. Others find meaning and substance and help in the dark. It's worth it to acknowledge the scary and fear inducing, the opposite of love and light.
I chose the 9 of Swords for this card because it's the nightmare card. I can't think of any card better to represent Deals in the Dark than the nightmare card.
