Ace of Swords
Ace of Swords — the suit of air, of thought, conflict and trouble.
A hand issues from a cloud, grasping a sword, the point of which is encircled by a crown.
Divinatory meaning
Triumph, the excessive degree in everything, conquest, triumph of force. It is a card of great force, in love as well as in hatred. The crown may carry a much higher significance than comes usually within the sphere of fortune-telling.
Reversed
The same, but the results are disastrous; another account says--conception--childbirth, augmentation, multiplicity. [Illustration]
