Three of Swords




     The Three of Swords is one of the cards of the Minor Arcana. Depicted on this card is a heart pierced by three swords, hanging high in a tempestuous sky. This card is a card of troubled relationships. When this card comes into a spread, it normally indicates a relationship based on manipulation, lack of communication, and often times argument, lies and deceit. When I see this card, I normally interpret it as a very unhealthly relationship, in which there is bound to be scandal lies and mistrust, and I often caution the person to be wary of placing to much emphasis on it. This could also represent a situation that the person is willing to let go of.

     There is a myriad of symbolisms on this and many of the other cards in both the major and minor arcana. In order to present a comprehensive and easy to use as a reference source set of pages for this and other cards, I will refrain from going into great detail regarding the individual symbols on the cards. On a future date I will go over the more explicit aspects of them. If you have a question regarding a particular symbol you can email me at Tamerin.
