Strength

Dante's Flame · a card from the Eutheum deck

Upright

courage, gentle power, patience

Reversed

self-doubt, inner turmoil

Upright meaning

Inner strength, courage, and a gentleness stronger than force. Strength means taming your own emotions, fears and passions, not suppressing them. Like Dante, who learns that putting a fire out matters as much as lighting it, the card speaks of mastering yourself with tenderness.

Reversed meaning

Self-doubt, emotional outbursts, or bottling emotions up. You may feel weaker than you really are. The card reminds you that strength returns when you stop fighting yourself.

Love and relationships

Passion combined with patience and understanding. The relationship will survive difficulties through gentleness. Reversed: jealousy, quarrels, losing your temper, or low self-worth.

Work and money

Persistence, composure in difficult situations, winning people over with calm. Reversed: stress, lack of confidence, impulsive decisions.

The card's advice

Be gentle with yourself. Calm is your strength.

In Natuland

Dante, the champion of fire: serious and sarcastic, with eyes that burn orange when his feelings run high. He has enormous power, but for a long time he doesn't believe in himself. Lighting a fire comes easily to him. Putting one out is harder.
