the highest purity. kether. even more so than the other
aces. it in some ways represents the great work
completed with the rising sun probably meaning crowleys
'solarization of the consciousness' or goal of the
current aeon. it is the first winds of manifestation,
the first reaction to put form into the void. it could
mean a first true and permanent basis for beliefs or
thoughts of some particular thing in ones life, from
which all other future thoughts and beliefs will be
forever structured around.

This is the root power of air, a great force which can be used for good or for evil. The element of air governs the three air signs; Gemini, Libra and Aquarius. Gemini has a gift in integrating opposing elements, and for enabling things to co-exist in a harmonious way. Libra has a mind which is balanced, direct, and all encompassing. Aquarius is a zodiac which is adaptable, mutable, creatively inspired and involved.
All these powers can be called upon in creating the great mind-power in the Ace of Swords. It is a complete awareness and consciousness that can be drawn upon over the next week, month, or year (no.1). This power is a great aid to the cards, The Magus (I) and Fortune (X). If these cards come up in a reading, it can indicate a need to turn towards these powers in order to combat and end decisively any problematic areas of your life. Adversely, the Ace of Swords can show a severe mental block or obstacle in regards to the query -e.g. writers block. This card makes me want to exclaim, "Yeesss!!" or, "Eureka!!" -it is finally seeing the light of day about a situation. Getting a great idea. It shows an intellect which is original, -a writer, editor, inventor. The dark clouds of self doubt and confusion disperse as the transformative snake coils around the handle of Excalibur to wield and direct its will with clarity (like Libra). Incidentally, it is "Will" which is written in Ancient Greek along the length of the sword. The green colour of the Sword symbolizes the fresh, perception -absent of any preconceived ideas- that is required to access the knowledge of the Creator. The water upon which the sun rises reflects a deep, mediative stillness, and is a symbol of Aquarius. The Sun emanates an energy as pure as crystals and reminds me of the "Diamond Consciousness" of Eastern Philosophy. (One of the aspects of the XIX Sun card is that of the Gemini twins dancing in the green fields).
When these three components are working together (the
three balls at the base of the sword?) we have opened
the door to the Creator. This is represented by the
sword piercing the crown at the top. This is a
reference again to Eastern Mysticism and the Crown
Cakra called, the "Thousand Petaled Lotus"
(Sahasrara-Padma). This Cakra is the gateway to higher
levels of perception which is perhaps linked medically
with the Pituitary hormone gland in the middle of the
head. Incidentally, the Hopi Indians of America also
have a name for this center -the "kopavi" or "Open
Door" which was also a means of communicating with a
greater Source. (In their creation myth, this soft spot
of the aura was open in man during the first world but
hardened upon later evolution and now normally opens
only when man is faced with his death).

With cards interpreting fertility/pregnancy this can
indicate a c/section or minor complications.

Aces are beginings, and swords are the mental realm.
You are creating, conjuring, or starting something from
will.
A highly magical card acording to Crowley, you are
willing something
into existence. Much caution is necessary here, for
extreme suffering and challenging karma befalls the
fool who plays with the fire of an unenlightened
mind. Evidence of an enlightened mind will be found
amongst
cards that surround the Ace of Swords. A decision
accompanied by
this energy should not be made too quickly.
Quiet the mind first, gather more facts, and work
through
any patience issues.
