ACE OF SWORDS

The gift of the sword is the intellect, the rational mind. This is a powerful gift and a dangerous one. The sword of truth can pierce through confusing problems. The mind, though, is complex. The way we think controls the way we perceive reality. By extension, the sword is communication; our words can heal or they can hurt. Just as the Magician, Major Arcana I, can use his will and power to create wondrous things, he can use them to confuse and play tricks on the unsuspecting as well.
You have the gift of thought. Use it rightly to see the world clearly, to communicate well, and to create a happy, healthy reality.
Be aware of having a sharp tongue. A clever wit or a desire for honesty are gifts of the sword. Do not use them in a destructive manner.
