Page of Swords

Page of Swords — the suit of air, of thought, conflict and trouble.

A lithe, active figure holds a sword upright in both hands, while in the act of swift walking. He is passing over rugged land, and about his way the clouds are collocated wildly. He is alert and lithe, looking this way and that, as if an expected enemy might appear at any moment.

Divinatory meaning

Authority, overseeing, secret service, vigilance, spying, examination, and the qualities thereto belonging.

Reversed

More evil side of these qualities; what is unforeseen, unprepared state; sickness is also intimated. [Illustration]

From The Pictorial Key to the Tarot, A. E. Waite, page 55 of the library’s copy. The words are Waite’s.
