18. The Bridge
You come across a bridge. A strange breeze tosses specks of light around in the thick air. You notice a figure standing on the other side of the bridge; it looks like you, or what you imagine yourself looking like. But as you step forward the space around you ripples like a mirage and distorts your vision. Is this an illusion? Fragments of your past and future memories reflect onto the bridge and then vanish. The figure that was once at the other end of the bridge is no longer there, and you find yourself in their place.

upright meaning:
unconscious - illusions - intuition
The Bridge is a card about illusions. If you pull it in a reading, it can either be a warning that something around you is not what it seems, or it could be a call for you to pay attention to your unconscious self. We all have desires that are not necessarily resting on the surface. Sometimes we are unaware of what we want most in life. The Bridge is only a metaphor for this, in time, you will see that it is constructed of only your own illusions.
reversed meaning:
held back - new wounds - conquering fear
The Reversed Bridge is poorly constructed and nearly impossible to cross safely. Nor will you want to, for it has taken on the appearance of your most crippling fears. When this card shows up reversed it may signify that you have recently gone through a period of uncertainty and fear in your life. This card is illuminating - you have already experienced through the worst of it, don’t let fear hold you back. Take your time, but you will eventually need to conquer what is in front of you. When you finally look back you will be surprised by how small it all looks.
