The Swords

The Beginning of the Journey.

The Suit of Swords, often associated with the element of air, heralds the beginning of a journey characterized by intellect, clarity, and truth-seeking. As the first cards are drawn from this suit, the stage is set for a profound exploration of the mind and its intricate workings. Traditionally, Swords represent the realm of thought, communication, and mental processes, offering insights into the challenges and opportunities that arise from within. In this realm, the Swords ask us to confront limiting beliefs or seek clarity amidst confusion.

The Suit of Swords invites you to wield the power of discernment, cutting through inner illusions and embracing truth with courage and conviction. This beginning marks the initiation of a quest for mental mastery and self-awareness, laying the foundation for growth, transformation, and enlightenment along the path ahead.

Swords are double-sided; one side acts on the betrayal of self, and the other side acts with the devotion of self.  The devotional side is where we carve a new path for ourselves, a path that is aligned with the truth of who we are and what we need in our lives.
