Angel Card Message: 9 of Winter
Introducing the Nine of Winter. In my experience as an Angel Card Reader this is perhaps the most feared and transformative card in the entire deck. Why is it feared you might ask? Well, the Winter or Swords suit represents the mind, logic, reasoning, truth and legal matters. The mind is also where anxiety, worry, and stress lives when we aren't careful of our thoughts.
