| The Ace of Swords is one of the cards of the Minor
Arcana, however I have classified it as a Royal because it, like all other aces, is the highest achievement of
which can be attained of this particular suit. This, like all other aces, represents the highest spiritual self.
Depicted on this card is a hand issuing from the clouds grasping the hilt of a sword. The point of the sword
is encircled with a crown, an olive and laurel leaf hang from the crown. Toungues of fire fall from the sky
When this card comes into your spread it indicates the entirety of emotions and actions at their hightest level.
It can represent the greatest love or greatest hatred. This card is also a fertility card. |
