In classic Rider Waite Smith tarot decks, Six of Swords shows a boat with a woman and a child. A man rows the boat across the water for them. The card represents the will to save oneself and one's life for something better. There is no packing in the boat, they have left everything to get to the other side. The woman in the boat is clearly empty and depressed. She has shut herself down and has a Heart Wall. In her heart wall she stores all sorrows, closes, disappointments, loneliness, shame and despair. This cannot last much longer as she would perish. In the next card, Seven of Swords, we see how this character takes the collar in an unexpected way!
