Seven of Cups - Eight of Swords
pieces got loose and it seized up
pieces got loose - Seven of Cups
and it seized up - Eight of Swords
Seven of Cups the spirits got loose and are scattered about in our picture. The magician put them away neatly in a box until next time, but the hired hand (the Apprentice in The Sorcerer's Apprentice story) messed with them.
Eight of Swords can't move. She is tied. So this card represents something that can't move, that has seized up (needs some grease)....
