Six of Swords + Four of Wands, Decameron + Eden

The disturbing wolf has been called out, what a relief!

First we have Decameron Tarot, a quite raw deck suggesting "adults only".
We see some kind of cosplay. Adults having gathered to enjoy life's pleasures as adults! Everyone knows the rules - and the "risks".
All but one.
A wolf had sneaked into the game. Trying to manipulate things for their own gain.
Like the wolf in the Little Red Riding Hood story. Sliding into the grandmother's bed dressed as the grandmother and talking like her. Building rapport and trust, only to eventually "have her fill".

This is easily translated into a relationship "turning sour".
A part of us didn't suspect a thing - look at that drunk, fat, laughing and singing fellow leaning against the wall! Only seeing the good and fun in the situation!
But maybe thanks to someone else's 'keen eyes' - the "Joker" in the game - the wolf was suddenly caught in the act, and  quickly 'shown the door'. (Maybe we were this Joker to someone?)
This awakened another part to the reality that there was someone playing 'foul play' in the relationship. Crying out in affect! Probably disturbed both because of the "intruder" but also that he 'fell for it', got 'caught in it'. 

Most probably this 'deceit' wasn't even conscious, but from 'unconscious patterns from childhood'. A person just not 'aware enough to play an adults game'. Not up for the task to "take full radical responsibility for his/her life and emotions" - which is required in a true adult relationship.
You know the "risks" and 'own your shit' - you do NOT try and manipulate others to carry the risks for you, or manipulate them to 'prevent them from hurting you'.
Which is a really hard task if you're not conscious of your wounds, triggers and fears, and instead want to control your surrounding and other people to 'make you feel safe'. Feeling safe is an inside job...

All is well! A situation to learn a lot from.
No we can exhale. And, listen a little more to our system in the future! Because there were quite a few 'red flags' on the way!
