Swords represent the element of air. They stand for the mind, mental energy, consciousness, wisdom, and the intellect. The world of Swords is the world of recognition, decision, ideas, and judgments. Swords deal with thought and imagination, with conscious and distinct perceptions of the world and oneself, with originality, freedom, the learning process, and clarity. Libra, Aquaries, and Gemini are the astrological signs of the Sword and of the element of air. "Well-dignified", they indicate intellectual matters. "Ill-dignified", they indicate sickness, depression, trouble, and death.

The cards are shown here with their number, name, and picture, as well as the basic meaning of the card taken into consideration when choosing the image for the card and the reason why that person/place/event was chosen for the card. At the bottom are links to go to the other card pages, but the names of the cards featured on those pages is not included there. To find that out, you just need to go back to the main "Swords" page.
