Seven of Swords – Mermaid Tarot

Image description on Seven of Swords Mermaid Tarot

Human objects drift on icebergs. With no one to take them back, the mermen take them and ponder if there is anything useful to them. This is how items are lost and found again. The person who finds them is always thinking about ownership. Is this an ethical issue? Or is this a case between a keeper and a finder? The mermen find a lot of “lost” objects in the water and along the coast. They consider whether the newly found objects will serve them or not. If there are many benefits, they will take what they need. If not, they will let them stay there.
