The Pictorial Key to the Tarot

Swords
TwoA hoodwinked female figure balances two swords upon her shoulders. Divinatory Meanings:
Conformity and the equipoise which it suggests, courage, friendship, concord in a state of arms;
another reading gives tenderness, affection, intimacy. The suggestion of harmony and other
favourable readings must be considered in a qualified manner, as Swords generally are not
symbolical of beneficent forces in human affairs. Reversed: Imposture, falsehood, duplicity,
disloyalty.
