Ten of Swords




     The Ten of Swords is one of the cards of the Minor Arcana. Depicted on this card is a man lying prone with ten swords piercing his back in a straight line. The ten location of the ten swords is significant as they are piercing the ten chakras. Though this card may seem to show an unusually violent death it really shouldn't be interpreted as same. This is a card when it comes into the spread actually indicates that the person hasn't got things in the proper perspective they are though it's a card of completion actually facing a karmatic completion and may have to repeat or relearn a very painful lesson. This card can also represent a verbal backstabber or liar whom needs to come to truth. Are you being careful with your words? or are you rumor mongering?
