Suit of Swords Symbolism | Tarot Card Reading & Meanings | Minor Arcana

In tarot, the suit of swords in the minor arcana is commonly associated with the aspects of the intellect. But, whether you're an intuitive, experiential, or knowledge-based tarot reader, you've likely encountered the darker aspect of the suit of swords: strife. The symbolism and artwork of this suit in the minor arcana in the Rider-Waite Tarot Deck (and therefore a lot of other decks) certainly lend some legitimacy to this response with their myriad of swords dangling above, beneath, and around hapless victims who appear powerless to stop the encroaching threat, even though they see it coming.

So I asked esteemed colleague, symbolism and tarot card reading expert Dayna Winters to come with me on an exploration of the suit of swords in tarot to examine why it's probably the most shied-away-from by readers and tarot lovers alike (including me). Do swords always mean things are about to get hard? What role does numerology play in the story of swords? How are swords viewed in Shamanic ritual? What about the intellect? Dayna and I explore each of these topics and more in this fascinating conversation.
