Ace of Swordsby ~Squeakyrat

Digital Art / Paintings & Airbrushing / Fantasy

Ace of Swords

Meaning:
Swords are mental in nature, and the Aces are the lowest and purest form of that nature. The Ace of Swords, taking this into account, is a card of mental insight, setting one up for newfound clarity of vision, and truth. The Swords are often sharp and cutting, so this new insight may not be painless, but it's necessary, and likely is a powerful moment in the mind of the one experiencing it. Incidentally, the ephiphany this card brings about is only the beginning, and not the entirety of the change that it could bring about. Finally, this card signifies fortitude - willingness to reach that insight, however cutting it may be, requires strength of will and drive to follow through.

Symbols and Specifics:
The Ace of Swords in this case is a simple card - "eureka" moments are rarely bogged down in chaos and drama but a simple stroke of insight.. The silver and diamonds wreathing the sword are the crown, symbolizing the power that this insight could bring about. The winter landscape beyond shows the cool intellectual nature of the swords in general, and the mental quality of the card altogether.

I like this. It's different from the more adulterated ace of swords images.
I'm not saying I'm a purist, but I prefer a tarot card that actually looks like a tarot card.
