The Page of Swords Tarot Card Description

The Page of Swords Tarot card shows a young man holding his sword up to the sky. His sword points to the sky as if in this way it wants to point to the divine truth that omnipresently surrounds us because no matter where the tip of the sword points, creation is present everywhere.

His body and sword move in the same direction while he turns his head to the opposite side, as a sign of his curiosity for the things that are around him and not only for the given path.

Although equipped with a sword, he otherwise wears only a light robe that allows him to move and advance freely, rather than heavy armor that would only hinder him on his way.

A strong breeze blows through the man’s hair and the looming clouds in the background convey an energetic dynamic inherent in this card.

The young man does not seek shelter from the wind but allows himself to be completely taken in by it and looks with curiosity at the changes it brings.

With his double-edged sword, where one side stands for his sharp mind and the other for his intuition, he can part the clouds of illusion and get a glimpse of the truth behind them.

Above the clouds appears a flock of birds coming from far away, symbolic of new ideas and impulses.

The background also appears very lively and fertile, showing that the young man’s quest for knowledge and his curiosity will soon bear fruit that he will enjoy.
