This post is intended to be a mini Ace of Swords Tarot Guide. It is important to mention that the longer you work with the cards the more you will discover how they speak to you. For example, the Ace of Swords does have a theme and traditional meaning but I would recommend leaving “space” for the card to speak to you. Over time, you may discover that the card represents unique insights or themes for you personally.
