🔪 The Sword: Symbol of Truth, Conflict, and Clarity 🔪

In the world of tarot, the sword isn’t just a weapon; it’s a mirror of our inner landscape. It speaks to the mind, truth, and the sharp edge of clarity that can reveal – or divide. When a sword appears in a reading, it often marks a time to cut through illusions, face conflict, or make a clear decision.

🗡️ The Sword in Tarot 🗡️

Swords make up one of the four tarot suits and embody the element of Air – our thoughts, words, and mental battles. They speak to the journey of our mind, covering everything from raw honesty to the tension we often face with change.

Ace of Swords 🌟 — The light of truth cutting through the fog. This card represents fresh insight and clear beginnings. When it appears, it’s a call to see things as they truly are, even if it requires courage.

Three of Swords 💔 — The sword’s wound. This card is painful but powerful, symbolising heartbreak and necessary endings. Here, the sword tells us that while some truths may hurt, they also bring release and healing.

Ten of Swords 🖤 — The darkest night, just before dawn. With ten swords piercing the figure, it can feel overwhelming, but it signifies an end to struggle and the start of renewal.

💬 Reflect on Your Own Journey

Consider how the energy of the sword has appeared in your life recently. Is there a truth you’re finally ready to face? Or perhaps a mental challenge you’re ready to release? The sword invites us to see clearly, even if the path it illuminates is sharp and confronting.

The Ten of Swords. When I started thinking about which Tarot card I wanted to chose, I began to research which tarot cards spoke of loss. As I scrolled through images the Ten of Swords stopped me immediately and I knew that this was my card. It’s a card of devastation. 2019 has been such an annihilating year for me and my family. Loss can create a kind of pain so enormous that it feels impossible to fit it inside your body. It’s immobilizing, physically painful sadness. Painting has always been a very nakedly emotional process for me, and for 6 months of this year I couldn’t even pick up a paintbrush. I was scared. I can’t hide from myself in paintings. Attempting to put that feeling onto a canvas felt important to me. I’m really grateful for Drawlloween this year, because it’s forcing me to meet myself and not look away until I can accept the new person I am since my dad died. #painfulhealing #loss #mabsdrawlloweenclub #mabsdrawlloweenclub2019 #tarot #tarotcards #tenofswords #mabgraves #oilpainting https://www.instagram.com/p/B3fhEgmnV4W/?igshid=4mt0ggav6h3

The sixty-fourth card of the Tarot is associated with the last ten degrees of Gemini- Uranus in Gemini. The energy of this card is a peak/turning point, and reaching mastery of the mind. Every possible mental path has been explored and its potential fulfilled or exhausted. There could be an overload, overwhelm, or just an abundance of information, communication, and ideas. It’s a time to wield the power of the thought. Try meditation or self-hypnosis to bring unconscious thoughts into awareness. Consciously choose thoughts that feel good and erase those that hold you back. Write and use positive affirmations, like planting seeds. It could also be a time to step away to rest, rebalance and enlarge perspective. Come back with fresh eyes. It could be good to get into the body. Have some energy work or physical therapy done, like reiki, acupuncture, chiropractic adjustment or massage. There is applied knowledge here of the mind-body connection.

Squash symbolizes abundance and prosperity. It’s linked with the moon (cool + moist/breasts, stomach, female reproductive organs). Varieties of squash are a great source of many vitamins and minerals, like the B vitamin complex, vitamins A & C, magnesium, anti-oxidants and phytonutrients. They can boost immunity, fight the risk of cancer, heart disease and premature aging. Many are high in fiber, help regulate blood sugar and diabetes symptoms, and also have anti-inflammatory properties.

COTD // October 11th, 2019

The Ten of Swords, reversed, is at last a card I am happy to see reversed. An uplifting cap to a string of reversals that have left me very uncertain of many premises.

While the Ten of Swords in its upright form is one of the few cards of the deck that outright indicate disaster and defeat, the message of the reversed form is that recovery and hope are in store instead. I am very strongly certain this is related to obligations I have this evening; a long term project that had reached some rockiness that almost destroyed the whole thing. Swords are the suite of intellect and the mind; the obligation in question is academic. Tonight is the first time since we instituted some radical changes. I am looking very forward to seeing what we start regrowing; I feel this card is showing me that this evening will be a clear example of the rebirth we’re seeking for this project.
