suit of swords
In the Tarot de Marseille, as is standard among Italian suited playing cards, the pip cards in the <anchor>suit of swords</anchor> are drawn as abstract symbols in curved lines, forming a shape reminiscent of a mandorla. On the even numbered cards, the abstract curved lines are all that is present. On the odd numbered cards, a single fully rendered sword is rendered inside the abstract designs. The suit of batons is drawn as straight objects that cross to form a lattice "Lattice (group)") in the higher numbers; on odd numbered baton cards, a single vertical baton runs through the middle of the lattice. On the tens of both swords and batons, two fully rendered objects appear imposed on the abstract designs.[6] The straight lined batons and the curved swords continue the tradition of Mamluk playing cards, in which the swords represented scimitars and the batons polo mallets.[7]

[Ace of Swords](/wiki/Ace_of_Swords "Ace of Swords") from the [1JJ Tarot](/wiki/1JJ_Tarot "1JJ Tarot") deck

Deck[Minor Arcana](/wiki/Minor_Arcana "Minor Arcana")

The **suit of swords** is one of the four suits of the [Minor Arcana](/wiki/Minor_Arcana "Minor Arcana") in a 78-card cartomantic [tarot](/wiki/Tarot "Tarot") deck. It is derived from the suit used in [Latin-suited playing cards](/wiki/Latin-suited_playing_cards "Latin-suited playing cards"), such as Spanish, Italian and Latin-suited tarot decks. Like the other tarot suits, it contains fourteen cards: [ace](/wiki/Ace "Ace") (one), two through ten, page, knight, queen and king. Occultists claim that the suit represents the [Second Estate (The Nobles)](/wiki/Estates_of_the_realm "Estates of the realm").

While tarot cards are used throughout much of [Europe](/wiki/Europe "Europe") to play [tarot card games](/wiki/Tarot_card_games "Tarot card games"),[\[1\]](#cite_note-DummettGame-1) in [English](/wiki/English_language "English language")-speaking countries, where the games are largely unknown, tarot cards came much later to be utilized primarily for [divinatory](/wiki/Tarot_reading "Tarot reading") purposes.[\[1\]](#cite_note-DummettGame-1)

## Divinatory and occult meanings

\[ [edit](/w/index.php?title=Suit_of_swords&action=edit&section=1 "Edit section: Divinatory and occult meanings")\]

In divination, the suit of swords is associated with masculinity and intellect, but also sorrow and misfortune. The element of [air](/wiki/Air_(classical_element) "Air (classical element)") has been associated with the suit. [Etteilla](/wiki/Etteilla "Etteilla") and [Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers](/wiki/Samuel_Liddell_MacGregor_Mathers "Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers") equated Swords to the suit of Spades in the [French pack](/wiki/French-suited_playing_cards "French-suited playing cards").[\[2\]](#cite_note-2)

### Cards in the suit of Swords

\[ [edit](/w/index.php?title=Suit_of_swords&action=edit&section=2 "Edit section: Cards in the suit of Swords")\]

- The **[Ace of Swords](/wiki/Ace_of_Swords "Ace of Swords")** indicates decisive ability. Cutting through confusion. Taking a radical decision or standpoint. The ability to see through deception, and expose it.
- The **[Two of Swords](/wiki/Two_of_Swords "Two of Swords")** indicates doubt over decisions. A sense of powerlessness and apathy giving way to fear. If the other cards in the spread are favourable, then the Two of Swords can indicate lack of bias and even mindedness.
- The **[Three of Swords](/wiki/Three_of_Swords "Three of Swords")** represents the aspect of the mind which is overly critical, especially of itself. The perverse impulse to dissect a problem beyond the point of usefulness. The three swords are often depicted piercing a bleeding heart. The swords symbolize the intellect, and the heart, the emotions which always suffer under this treatment.
- The **[Four of Swords](/wiki/Four_of_Swords "Four of Swords")** symbolizes avoidance. Setting problems to the side, (the swords on the wall), while one prays for deliverance. This card can also represent surrender, or in some cases, pacifism.
- The **[Five of Swords](/wiki/Five_of_Swords "Five of Swords")** symbolizes victory by betrayal. The emptiness which descends after a harsh struggle. The alienation of others through belligerence.
- The **[Six of Swords](/wiki/Six_of_Swords "Six of Swords")** represents a dangerous journey. Readers do not always agree on the alignment of this card. It can indicate a doomed endeavor, or conversely, moving out of troubled waters. It also indicates responsibility for others.
- The **[Seven of Swords](/wiki/Seven_of_Swords "Seven of Swords")** represents covert activities. The attempt to get away with too much, and being compromised as a result. If the reading is favourable, the card may represent making sacrifices to move ahead. Simplifying. It can also mean manipulative or dishonest behavior at play.[\[3\]](#cite_note-simplytarot-3)
- The **[Eight of Swords](/wiki/Eight_of_Swords "Eight of Swords")** symbolizes feeling trapped and oppressed by others, and powerless to change. Often the condition is self-imposed, but the cause is attributed to external influences. This card can also indicate the stubborn adherence to an ideal.
- The **[Nine of Swords](/wiki/Nine_of_Swords "Nine of Swords")** can represent being plagued by fear, guilt, doubt, and worries that are to a large extent, unfounded. However, it can indicate the process of letting go of grief and, in combination with healing cards like the [Queen of Wands](/wiki/Queen_of_Wands_(Tarot_card) "Queen of Wands (Tarot card)"), it can be highly beneficial.
- The **[Ten of Swords](/wiki/Ten_of_Swords "Ten of Swords")** is a relief from the nightmare of the Nine of Swords. There may be exhaustion, and the result may not be ideal but the ordeal is over and the truth has been outed. The Ten of Swords can also indicate the end of a repetitious cycle. Divorce.
- The **[Page of Swords](/wiki/Page_of_Swords "Page of Swords")** represents the ability to observe others keenly, while concealing one's own nature. The talent for keeping secrets. Keeping one's head in the face of danger. The ability to endure suspense.
- The **[Knight of Swords](/wiki/Knight_of_Swords "Knight of Swords")** is wrath, impatience, fanaticism, or blind addiction to action as opposed to thought. Also may indicate initiative and courage.
- The **[Queen of Swords](/wiki/Queen_of_Swords "Queen of Swords")** symbolizes independence, at its best. Power, intelligence, tactical thinking. The ability to streamline a problem, and find the solution without fuss. At worst, The Queen of Swords can represent isolation, depression and cruelty.
- The **[King of Swords](/wiki/King_of_Swords "King of Swords")** is discipline with passion. Power and insight. Can symbolize tyranny.
