| The King of Swords is one of the cards of the Minor
Arcana, however I have classified it as a Royal because it, like all other Kings, it represents the adult masculine
nature of this particular suit. This, like all other kings, represents the Patriarchal or adult self.
Depicted on this card is a king sitting in judgement, his sword unsheathed. His throne rests on a pavement of
stone. Behind him is a symbolic banner and in the background are trees. |

| Keywords for Interpretation |
| Upright |
| A man with dark brown hair and brown eyes; he has the power
of life and death. It may betoken a wise man, a counsellor full of helpful ideas; whatever rises
from authority, military and government concerns, law, judgement. |
| Inverted |
| A man who can be cruel, barbarous, unjust. Caution in matters
that may result in a ruinous lawsuit. |

| 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.
