4 of SwordsThoth Tarot Tarot Meaning

4 of Swords card from the Thoth Tarot tarot deck

Number: 4 of Swords  ·  Arcana: Minor Arcana — Swords

Upright meaning

Rest after war — genuine relaxation of anxiety and recovery from sickness, real authority regained in the intellectual world after struggle.

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.
