Introduction to Swords Arcana

The sword's essence truly manifests itself within the crucible of combat and dueling. Envisioning "lightweight" scenes would undermine its inherent purpose, for the sword's function thrives in battle and warfare. These blades seek conflict, striving for victory on the battlefield. Crafted with dual blades, the metal embodies a cutting edge and a dualistic universe. These symbols of warriors endeavor to convey their perspective, even enduring pain, where survival often hinges on a kill-or-be-killed mentality.

Disclaimer: The way I learned to read tarot cards does not involve the use of upright and reversed positions. Instead, they rely on their symbology, positive and negative meanings, and the readings depend more on the spread rather than whether the card is upright or reversed. Also, the Court Cards will also have its separate post and I’m using Rider-Waite as reference.

Ace of Spades

Symbolism: The ace, denoting unity and the inception of concepts, is entwined with the Air element (yang). This synergy births the genesis of ideas, showcasing the active force behind their inception and their influence on our mental realm. Such ideas arise from fleeting moments, mirroring the sword's grasp, connecting to the phallic symbol, signifying assertion. It exhibits agility and fluidity through its form, accompanied by nobility represented by the crown.

Positive Aspects: This card signifies the emergence of impactful ideas and noble intentions. It encompasses words, plans, and ethical principles vocalized by individuals. Illuminating thoughts underscore its essence, driven by persistent contemplation. The ace heralds the commencement of fruitful conversations, dialogues, or even disagreements. A quest for righteousness is evident, guided by the urge to express what is perceived as right. Engaging in argumentation and asserting one's will takes center stage, underpinned by the necessity for courteous, direct, and noble communication.

Ace of Spades: In this context, the negative connotation reflects unfulfilled principles and groundless ideas. Such fleeting concepts are akin to a "flash in the pan," lacking in substance. Dishonorable and deceitful words accompany these notions, sowing disorder and distress. Antagonistic ideas fuel endless debates, potentially leading to harmful intentions or superficial propositions. The inability to wield a sword metaphorically signifies a lack of defense or empowerment.

2 of Swords

Symbolism: The number two emerges from the unity of one, representing a dualistic, opposing nature. The delicate equilibrium is disrupted as divergent ideas contend for supremacy. Depicted is a figure bearing the weight of swords, symbolizing the challenge of decision-making. The moon and water elements evoke emotional detachment, urging logical discernment. Blindfolded, impartiality prevails, underscoring the significance of thoughtful positioning.

Positive Aspects: This card embodies truces, agreements, and harmonious resolutions. It underscores the value of diplomacy, facilitating consensus and informed choices. The card encourages steadfastness in decision-making and the careful balance between emotional and rational faculties. Diplomatic interactions with diverse individuals and groups, along with honorable conflicts, are encouraged. Well-crafted competition and stimulating rivalry fuel intellectual growth, fostering teamwork and camaraderie. The card suggests favorable judgments and well-reasoned decisions.

Negative Aspects: On the flip side, hesitation, doubt, and emotional indecision take center stage. The impartiality, when taken to an extreme, fosters unethical behavior and truce-related challenges. Disregarding empathy for differing perspectives hinders harmony, leading to superficial interactions and a lack of understanding. The card cautions against evading responsibility and shying away from comprehensive evaluations.

3 of Spades

Symbolism: The number three signifies the synthesis of unity and duality, birthing new ideas through opposing forces. In this context, the card portrays a novel notion arising from these forces, akin to the formulation of a decisive sentence. Despite potential pain or discomfort, consensus remains crucial. The heart symbolizes the challenge, as emotional attachments might hinder logical resolution.

Positive Aspects: The card signifies relief following a resolute decision-making process. It encourages embracing responsibility, prioritizing collective well-being over personal privilege. Delving deep into the core of issues and resolving them swiftly is urged, emphasizing direct and efficient approaches. The card celebrates the courage to stand by one's values and the willingness to engage in benevolent actions, even if they entail personal sacrifice.

Negative Aspects: Anguish and despair arise from indecision and the burden of responsibility. Ineffectual attempts at problem-solving lead to mental agony. The absence of creativity, failure to achieve consensus, and inability to focus on a singular idea impede progress. The card warns against neglecting diverse perspectives, resulting in missed opportunities for growth and understanding.

4 of Swords

Symbolism: The number four introduces order to the realm of ideas, a challenge for the airy element. To become a productive force, air requires motion and direction. Thus, the card conveys a hushed tranquility, analogous to a serene church setting. It serves as a pause for strategic contemplation, a call to hone one's skills, and an invitation for introspective reconfiguration.

Positive Aspects: This card encourages introspection, thoughtful analysis, and strategic reorganization. Taking a break to rest and restore mental clarity is advised. Meditation and silence facilitate deeper reflection, allowing ideas to crystallize and insights to emerge. Prioritizing observation over discourse fosters efficient idea generation and encourages the development of practices that enhance cognitive clarity.

Negative Aspects: Stagnation, repetitiveness, and a lack of innovation permeate the air. The card warns against fixating on static, unproductive ideas. It discourages excessive sleep or detachment, which hinder effective communication and constructive action. The chasm between intention and execution is evident, underscoring the importance of aligning thoughts with tangible efforts.

5 of Swords

Symbolism: The number five signifies an attempt to transcend limitations, often leading to inexperience and failure. The card depicts a scene of defeat, where an individual encounters more adept adversaries, resulting in loss. The pursuit of reasoning with others reveals the unpreparedness, leading to a fallen argument. The imagery portrays a thwarted endeavor, highlighting the ephemeral nature of such endeavors.

Positive Aspects: Amid defeat, there's resilience and partial preservation. Although the battle is lost, the war remains. The card advises relinquishing harmful ideas, recognizing the potential for future success. Lessons learned from failures guide future actions, urging meticulous evaluation and adjustment. The card emphasizes persistence and growth despite setbacks.

Negative Aspects: Unprepared and futile attempts mar the landscape, leading to loss, frustration, and difficulty. The card cautions against hasty actions and irrational pursuits, promoting negative outcomes. Pessimism and self-sabotaging tendencies hinder progress, reinforcing the importance of measured, strategic endeavors.

6 of Swords

Symbolism: The number six embodies reparation and reconciliation, offering a chance to seek refuge and new perspectives. Depicted is the act of rescuing individuals from shame and guiding them toward safe havens. This card symbolizes the quest for harmony among conflicting ideas, advocating introspection and the mending of one's convictions.

Positive Aspects: The card heralds a period of healing, restoration, and finding solace. It encourages seeking alternative paths and viewpoints, striving for inner and external harmony. Support from others aids the journey toward clarity and resolution. Embracing change and transformation facilitates growth and renewal.

Negative Aspects: A retreat in shame, evading confrontation and hiding from self-awareness, becomes prominent. The card advises against avoidance and self-imposed isolation, which hinder growth and understanding. Dwelling on difficulties and resisting change further impede progress, promoting stagnation and personal loss.

7 of Swords

Symbolism: The number seven embodies persistence and belief, emphasizing the power of steadfastness. In the realm of air, believing is seeing. The card showcases the strength of persistence, rooted in logical reasoning and problem-solving. The imagery portrays selective focus, leaving behind unnecessary issues to address core problems.

Positive Aspects: The card urges vigilance and strategic thinking. It emphasizes using intelligence to one's advantage, remaining diplomatic, and asserting one's perspective with flexibility. The number seven symbolizes unwavering dedication to one's beliefs and employing diverse tactics to communicate and persuade.

Negative Aspects: Persisting in error or faulty beliefs takes center stage. Impulsivity and a lack of diplomacy hinder effective communication. Engaging in tangential arguments and altering points for convenience are discouraged. The card warns against adopting a cynical viewpoint, lacking trust in one's intuition, and attempting to appease others at the expense of authenticity.

8 of Swords

Symbolism: The number eight reflects a doubling of four, highlighting the establishment of order and productivity. However, it struggles to integrate effectively with the airy element. The imagery portrays an individual surrounded by diverse ideas, expressing a willingness to defend personal convictions. This card signifies a challenge to confront and assess one's beliefs.

Positive Aspects: The card emboldens one to face opposing opinions and challenges. It advocates stepping onto the stage of challenge, drawing upon inner courage to evaluate one's beliefs and actions. The number eight emphasizes introspection and self-awareness, encouraging the exploration of diverse viewpoints to refine one's perspective.

Negative Aspects: Fear-induced paralysis prevails, impeding growth and progress. The card warns against succumbing to false truths or succumbing to external pressures. Paralysis by one's own or others' opinions prevents open communication and hinders the authentic expression of thoughts. It calls for breaking free from self-imposed constraints to foster personal growth.

9 of Swords

Symbolism: The number nine symbolizes mature and evolved thought stemming from the unity of one. This card portrays an individual deep in thought, encapsulating a mature mental state where responsibilities and ideas carry weight. Astrological symbols on the quilt suggest celestial guidance, underscoring the connection between life's signs and profound inquiries.

Positive Aspects: Deep contemplation and profound meditation are the hallmarks of this card. It champions methodical problem-solving, offering a path to practical resolutions. Seeking guidance through prayer and introspection facilitates mental clarity and wise decision-making. The number nine signifies embracing responsibility and harnessing wisdom to navigate life's challenges.

Negative Aspects: The card cautions against clinging to outdated or immature perspectives. It signifies mental distress, phobias, and unsettling thoughts that hinder rational thinking. A lack of sleep, mental unrest, and a single-minded fixation on distressing thoughts pervade, hindering sound judgment and emotional well-being.

10 of Swords

Symbolism :The number ten encapsulates the culmination of experiences within the suit, often leading to a decisive outcome. The imagery depicts a figure pierced by swords, signifying a significant end or transition. While defeat may be apparent, a new day dawns, symbolized by the rising sun and a fresh sword, heralding renewal and potential growth.

Positive Aspects: This card signifies triumph and conquest, wherein opposing ideas succumb to one's convictions. Problems are resolved, and obstacles are overcome. The number ten celebrates the strength of will, organization, and focused effort. It signifies the ability to take decisive action and reap the rewards of perseverance.

Negative Aspects: The card symbolizes defeat, ruin, and the cessation of progress. Overcoming difficulties becomes a daunting task as obstacles pile up. The number ten cautions against tyrannical thinking, arrogance, and the risk of ignoring opposing perspectives. It warns against allowing fear and negativity to paralyze progress.

Resurrection of Magneto #1 was incredible! I’ve mapped out Storm’s journey by correlating the tarot imagery. Interestingly, she is not taking the lightning path despite her motif, instead starting at Malkuth heading to Netzach, followed by Hod and ending in Gavurah.

Magneto as the 5 of Cups in the Broken City (Gavurah)

Storm as the 7 of Cups in the Waiting Room (Netzach)

Tarn as the Hermit (or maybe the Devil but I’m leaning Hermit due to the serpent imagery)

The 7 of Cups featuring the Wheel of Fortune

Ashake, servant of the goddess Ma’at, as Adjustment (Justice), but the black cat and magical attributes are also giving Queen of Wands

Storm as the Tower

The Domains as the Sun in Domain Space (Hod) peeking into Beyonder Space (Yesod)

Storm and Magneto as the Hanged Man

Storm as the 5 of Swords, featuring elements of the 5 of Cups, in the Broken City (Gavurah)

What Situation Requires You To Trust Your Intuition? - Pick A Card - High Priestess Edition

Readings are under the read more.  Video version is also included in source link.

Pile 1/Modern Witch

The first card to come out for this pile was the 6 of Pentacles.  This has to deal with reciprocation.  A lot with getting back as much as you are giving in a situation.  For the majority of you, I feel like this is connected to respect and/or appreciation from others in your life.  

The second card to come out for this pile was Everything Is Fine, which is one of two 10 of Swords in this deck.  This is associated with painful endings.  I don’t feel like these endings have occurred for most of you yet, but you may know that they are needed.  I feel like you are likely trying to carry on as though everything is fine, even when it isn’t.

The third card to come out for this pile was the Page of Cups.  This is associated with emotional communication.  I feel like this is you knowing that you need to express your emotions and needs more, especially in regards to relationships in your life where you feel like you aren’t appreciated and/or respected - which is the main message your intuition is likely trying to get you to notice.  

The first oracle card to come out for this pile was Law Of Attraction.  This is generally thought of with romantic relationships, but it applies to more than just that.  I feel like the most important part of this card for this pile was the invest wisely aspect, since that relates strongly to that 6 of Pentacles and wanting to get back as much as you are giving to situations.

The second oracle card to come out was Joker - Things Are Never As They Seem.  This may suggest that there’s more than meets the eye in a situation, which you likely already feel with the topic of this read.  I feel like you may not have fully pinpointed what is wrong though just yet and are in the process of doing so.

Pile 2/Supernatural

The first card to come out for this pile was the 7 of Pentagrams, which is basically the 7 of Pentacles in this deck.  This is associated at looking things that are worth investing time into for long-term results.  These things often require patience, since the results aren’t seen quickly.  This can be a variety of things, including relationships.  For the majority of you, I feel it is more of a personal idea that you are considering pursuing.  Kinda like trying to start your own business or going into a certain field.

The second card to come out was the 2 of Bones, which is basically the 2 of Wands in this deck.  This is associated with making personal choices.  In this case, I feel like the choice is related about whether or not you want to pursue an idea and if said idea would pay off in the long-run.  I feel like this choice is what you are called to trust your intuition about, which is likely easier said than done (at least for my personality lol).

The third card to come out for this pile was the Ace of Blades, which is basically the Ace of Swords in this deck.  This is associated with ideas and thoughts.  Basically, I feel like this is the idea that you are considering pursuing.  

The first oracle card to come out for this pile was Focus On Service.  This card is associated with people that enjoy helping others.  This may suggest that you’re considering pursuing something that you feel will let you help others.  There’s also a reminder of this card to make sure to maintain boundaries, since helping is good but you don’t want to end up being taken advantage of.  

The second oracle card to come out for this pile was Intimacy - Open Up And Get Close.  There are a few ways I feel this could apply.  The first is that connections with others is strongly associated with the choice that you are considering.  Like, the choice could be something that results in connections and needing to open up to others to form those connections.  The other is that you could be advised to open up to others close to you for their advice on the choice you’re considering and their potential support for whatever option you choose to pursue.  Just remember to keep in mind that the choice is yours.

Pile 3/Garbage Pail Kids

The first card to come out for this pile was the 10 of Coins.  This is associated with financial stability and stability in the family.  It’s a great place to be at, but doesn’t come easy.

The second card to come out for this pile was the 10 of Wands.  This is associated with being worn out due to all of the responsibilities that you are carrying.  I feel like a lot of these responsibilities are connected to you trying to maintain that 10 of Coins too much on your own without relying on the others involved.  This could be a temporary situation, such as a health issue with a family member that has led you to take on more than usual.

The third card to come out for this pile was The World.  This is associated with something coming to an end.  This is generally positive and is something that leaves you feeling accomplished in some way.  This pile is definitely heading towards the end of some kind of cycle with this card and the other two cards both being 10s.  I feel like your intuition may be trying to guide you on how to finish a possibly difficult cycle up.

The first oracle card to come out for this pile was Relationship.  This is a lot about remembering to take care of yourself because a neglected/worn out/frustrated you isn’t helpful to the relationships in your life, even if you are wearing yourself out to try to help those you care about.

The second oracle card to come out for this pile was Humility - Bow Down.  Basically, I feel like this card is suggesting some humility as you acknowledge what your limits are.  Unfortunately, we all have our limits and it isn’t always easy to admit when things are getting to be too much.  I do feel like this is something that you need to do or you’re going to end up being burned out, if you aren’t already.

Pile 4/Rider-Waite

The first card to come out for this pile was the 9 of Cups.  This has to with happiness and contentment.  This is a more personal happiness rather than the 10 of Cups which is happiness with others.  I feel like this is something that you have been working on and that you have begun becoming more happy/content with things in your life.

The second card to come out for this pile was the Knight of Wands.  This is associated with being spontaneous.  I feel like this is you trying to take more chances and explore more opportunities.  A lot with just trying to be more carefree rather than super stressed.  I think your intuition is trying to push you towards this a bit.

The third card to come out for this pile was the King of Swords.  This is a logical individual who thinks before they act.  I feel like this is your typical nature.  This likely makes the Knight of Wands aspects a bit difficult for you since you prefer to think things through quite a bit before taking chances.  For a few of you, it could be vice versa with you generally being more like the Knight of Wands and your intuition encouraging you to act a bit more like the King of Swords at times.  

The first oracle card to come out for this pile was Steady Progress.  Basically, you have been and are continuing to make slow, steady progress.  I feel like the progress you’ve been making is connected to that 9 of Cups and your happiness.

The second oracle card to come out for this pile was Guilt - Turn Off The Alarm.  I think this is something that you’ve been working on or need to work on.  Basically, trying to release any feelings of guilt that you’ve been carrying with you.  These don’t even have to necessarily be from things you’ve done.  Perhaps this includes making some apologies, but a lot of taking steps to not carry such heavy feelings with you.

Pile 5/Mystical Manga

The first card to come out for this pile was the 9 of Wands.  This is associated with perseverance and standing your ground.  There can be repetitive battles/challenges with this card.  This is likely beginning to wear you out, but you’re still persevering through whatever comes your way.

The second card to come out for this pile was the 5 of Cups.  This is associated with disappointments and processing negative emotions.  I feel like a lot of the negativity that you are dealing with is a result of the issues that you’re dealing with from that 9 of Wands.  

The third card to come out for this pile was The Fool.  This is associated with starting new things.  I feel like this isn’t something you’re doing yet, since you’re focusing on healing from current/recent past experiences.  I feel like your intuition will likely let you know when you are ready to move on to something new.

The first oracle card to come out for this pile was Fresh Air.  This has a lot to do with spending time outside to calm yourself.  A lot of you may enjoy spending time in nature/outdoors and find that it helps to calm you.  This may not be that easy depending on weather (it’s cold here - it just snowed again today).  

The second oracle card to come out for this pile was Imagination - Get The Big Picture.  I feel like this is encouraging you to imagine for the future, kinda like the 7 of Cups.  I feel like this will help you be ready when it’s time for you to begin your next chapter as the Fool.

Last of the swords cards!

With and without blood bc I couldn't decide whether it was Too Much or not

Ten of Swords

Previous card

[feral-babe]

The Seven of Horns in the tarot embodies themes of cunning, strategy, and sometimes even deception. It often symbolizes the need for caution and craftiness and encourages us to use our wit and creativity to navigate challenges. This card encourages us to consider the methods and strategies we employ in our endeavors. It symbolizes the need to think outside the box and approach situations in an unorthodox manner.

We can draw an intriguing parallel with Myrmarachne, a genus of spiders known as ant-mimicking jumping spiders. These animals have evolved to resemble ants in appearance and behavior, utilizing clever camouflage as a survival strategy and showcasing the themes of adaptation and deception to achieve their goals. The spider's intention isn't to consume the ants; instead, he seeks refuge among them for safety. He resides on the fringes of a colony of hunters that could quickly devour him, yet he continues to thrive, unbeknownst to them.

In alignment with the tarot card's message, the Seven of Horns encourages introspection into the strategies we deploy in our lives. It underscores the significance of cautious and strategic actions, suggesting that a touch of cleverness and adaptability can prove invaluable in achieving objectives. Much like the ingenious mimicry of Myrmarachne, this card prompts us to embrace innovative approaches when faced with challenges, urging us to tap into our ingenuity to solve problems and reach our goals with a sense of strategic finesse.

7 of Swords. Pastoral Tarot

Element: Air Sephirah: Netzach (Victory), sephirah seven in Yetsirah (Formation) Rider Theme: Contemplation or awareness of action Golden Dawn Title: Unstable Effort Decan: 21-30 degrees Aquarius, ruled by the moon In my notes above, I described the sevens as creativeness, inventiveness, possibilities, and suggested that the Seven of Swords could suggest new, innovative ways of thinking or possibly new plans. The first idea, a way of thinking, describes an ongoing state of being, while the second would describe something more specific. Part of the diviner’s art is to see which aspect of a card will apply in a particular reading. The Pythagorean meaning is both broader and larger. Coming after the harmonic Six, and with the suggestion of a new beginning (as One starts the sequence 1, 2, 3, 4, so Seven leads 7, 8, 9, 10), it can mean a genuine breakthrough in a person’s thinking. And with its relation to the seven planetary spheres and the seven chakras, that breakthrough could be on large, meaningful issues, especially spiritual awareness. Paul Huson suggests that the Rider image might derive from the Sola-Busca, for the image shows a young man sneaking off with swords. One big difference is that the Rider character does not carry all of them, giving the sense of an impulsive action that is incomplete or not a real solution. This goes along with the Golden Dawn meaning “unstable effort,” leading to “partial success.” To most people, the Rider figure appears smirking, as if very pleased with himself. The sneakiness, and the excited smirk, have led some readers to see it as indicating a secret sexual affair. The Seven of Birds in the Shining Tribe is one of the most significant cards in the Minor Arcana. Whereas the Rider character seems to consult no one, the two figures in the Birds card engage in intense communication. The dotted line between them shows that each retains his identity yet each speaks passionately. I did not design this with Netzach in mind, but the sephirah evokes Venus, planet of love, and in love we all need to communicate our most powerful emotions. When I asked the cards, “Show me the reading you gave God to create the universe,” the Seven of Birds was the first card, suggesting that God needed to create a universe to have someone to talk to. (The entire reading can be found in my book Forest of Souls.) Readings—Again, various meanings. Dynamic, exciting thinking; intellectual or conceptual breakthroughs, possibly spiritual. Intense communication. Alternatively, an impulsive or clever action that may not solve a problem. Possibly a sexual affair. Rachel Pollack

Hone In

You're carrying way, way too many swords. It's far beyond the point of practically being able to use any of them, let alone all. You're starting to hurt yourself, and it feels like it's only getting worse.

The secret is, you don't have to keep going this way. You can back up. You can put swords down.

Lay out all the things weighing on you. You picked them up for a reason, you can't just snap your fingers and solve all your problems, but you can start with one.

What idea can you let go of? What narrative can you change? Work on that, and maybe tomorrow will be more of a six of swords kind of day. If you keep it up, you may find yourself wielding one sword, inspired and well armed, rather than juggling more blades than you can carry.

Deck is the Accurate AF Tarot by Prism and Fleur.

[thepigeontarot]

Today, take some time to make plans before starting out on something new. You may be inspired to take action and start a new pursuit, but this inspiration may be quick to fizzle out. If you want to ensure you follow through with these plans, you need to clarify the goals you are trying to reach and make sure you are prioritizing what is important. If you can't find a balance in these strategic actions, you might not find much success in this new undertaking. 🐈‍⬛

[tarot-junkie]

I’ve liked this guy for over a decade and I feel like we’ve just been dancing around each other the entire time, he has expressed interest, but never pulls the trigger on it. Now I’ve dated other guys but I’m always drawn back to him despite it feeling it’s going nowhere. Do I need to force myself to let go of any possibility of being with him? Is there a reason the universe seems to draw us back into each others orbits? Thanks!!❤️

Here’s the rub. 10 years and nothing? No action?

Cards were knight of cups rx, 7 of swords rx, judgement rx and king of cups. The SIDE EYE that this king is giving to that history. He is afraid. And my issue with this, is that there’s hesitation to make an offer, it’s creating self doubt and even making you question things. My personal take is that people need to shit or get off the pot. (In other words, if he’s not moving, I think you might be better served to move on).

Bottom of deck is 2 of cups rx. 🧐 disharmony. Imbalance. Real talk, just ADVICE, don’t be with someone who can’t say it with their full chest. Because even though it might satisfy one longing, it’s going to create others. (Longing for open communication, open feeling of expressions, etc).

Just my thoughts
