The King of Swords represents mastery in the realms of reason and the mind. In the Marseilles tradition, the card was said to be a portrayal of King David.
Daily Draw | Three of Swords 050820
The Three of Swords has been known as the card of sorrows. In Waite’s deck, it is depicted as three swords piercing a heart. My early notes on the card couched it in terms of the primordial wounds of our lives. For me, it has represented the lifelong stories that I told myself about loss, and it being at the center of everything for me.
Daily Draw | Ten of Swords
The Ten of Swords is a card of finality. Tens for me, in general, represent completion – the end of a cycle, preparation for a new one. This Ten, in particular, resonates with a sense that something is ending for good. My cheat sheet entry for this one is “it’s so over.”
