Ace of Swords
The Fool now finds himself in the suit of air, as he has journeyed to the Ace of Swords and its sharp realities. He finds with the Ace of Swords that nothing will be the same again, as he is offered the gift of truth. Deep within, he knows that he will not see things the same again as illusions fade and ties to things or people are cut away with realisations. This may cause an ouch moment for The Fool, yet it will clear mental chatter and clutter, allowing for a fresh, open, and honest new beginning.
We find here cold, harsh intellectual facts with truths that can cut either way, for good or bad. With that bringing victory in truth.
This Ace offers us a jolt to the mind, as this is a seed that can grow and remove the blinkers from our minds; if that is not what is desired, then it can bring sadness, but at least we have clarity. Expect to have your thinking and your beliefs challenged.
All of a sudden, this Ace can force change in our lives; a fact drops in our laps, or rather, our minds, and it demands the removal of dead wood, which leaves us with transparency, a gift of reality.
Expect confusions or illusions to be sliced away as light is shone on issues and we can see things clearly even if strong emotions are brought up, and as any delusions we have had or even those things we thought were true are seen in a new light.
Realisations will be made; do not push them to the side; allow them to inspire your next step.

Yeah, woop woop, love Pams book. I bought the kindle version last year when it came out, and then the paperback this year. I am so happy I bought both. My tarot journey has grown so much. I love doing readings now. Just go buy Pams Book. ❤

I received my copy (of Understanding Tarot) this week and already this is my favourite Tarot reference book. Such detailed descriptions of all the cards both upright and reversed but can also be dipped into easily for a quick check to see if you’re on the right path. This is a wonderful book….massive congratulations Pam Richards
