10 of SwordsThoth Tarot Tarot Meaning

10 of Swords card from the Thoth Tarot tarot deck

Number: 10 of Swords  ·  Arcana: Minor Arcana — Swords

Upright meaning

Ruin — real disaster and failure as reason divorces from reality, though not entirely without hope, and sometimes only idle, insolent chatter after all.

Reversals in this deck

The Thoth tradition does not read reversed cards. Crowley's system judges a card as well- or ill-dignified from the cards around it and its elemental dignities, so every card here is read upright.
